Enabling Debugging of SMTP conversations

Scroll Prev Top Next More

The Cobwebb Server software is shipped with two versions of the SMTP Client POSTIE3 - a debug version, named POSTIE3#D, and a release version, named POSTIE3#R. One of these versions is then duplicated, NOT RENAMED, to the live program, named POSTIE3, which is the program that is used by the system.
