     D'Bridge EMAIL System
     Copyright (c) by Nick J. Andre, Ltd.

     VERSION 3.99 SERVICE RELEASE 5 - JUNE 21 2015
     ---------------------------------------------

     WARNING: This release deals with the way NETmail messages are
     processed on your system.  If you are a Hub system, you should first
     test this release in an isolated environment before deploying into
     your production system.  Backup any NETmail messages currently on
     your system before installing this update.  Be prepared to roll-back
     to SR4 just in case this release does not work for you.

     This is a very minor update. Of course, what I consider to be minor
     may in fact be a major fix for you...


     - The long-standing problem of D'Bridge not being able to process
     more  than a thousand NETmail messages in one toss cycle has been
     fixed.  Gone for good are any any all problems relating to this...
     maybe some new ones?

     This has existed for many years. Actually its not so much a problem
     as it is in the way the mailer was designed to run on IBM XT's at 8
     Mhz.  Until now, the code that scanned the NETmail messages in *.MSG
     format used a disk-cache routine index of 1,024 messages.  In this
     version, the cache has been removed entirely.  If you are in fact
     running D'Bridge on a "real DOS" machine, it is recommended to use
     Microsoft SmartDrive or Norton's Speedcache product.

     - "Route receipts" is now internally managed.

     - Specifying a "Blind Request Hub" in Config-Packet/Mail first
     requires that the entry be first specified in AREAFIX INFO.

     - There is a new question in Config-Packet/Mail for "Areafix by
     name". This was added to solve a problem with downlink systems
     running BBS's where NETmail that is not simply addressed to "SYSOP"
     does not get processed.  Answer YES if you wish to have D'Bridge
     reply to Areafix requests using the Sysop's nodelisted name or NO if
     the replies should just be addressed to "SYSOP".  The default
     setting is NO.

     - Areafix Rescan requests now work the way they should.

     WARNING: Many Fidonet operators love to make an example out of
     someone who inadvertently floods the net with a bunch of Rescans
     or "dupes".  Unless you crave negative attention, use due-
     diligence and common sense when administering your system.

     DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, use the Areafix Rescanning with
     ANY BBS software unless you have tested this first in a secluded
     environment. Some BBS programs may "import" the rescanned
     messages or manipulate them to send back up the network again...

     - The logic in NETmail Archive/Sent handling in Config-Packet/Mail
     has been slightly adjusted and reworded.

     - NETmail Archive/Sent in DBUTIL should all be fixed now.

     - The internal editor should no longer mangle kludge lines when
     copying or forwarding messages under certain conditions.

     - Various source code cleaned up behind-the-scenes.
