Again, the discussion was about your jamnttp server.  I know what a mail server
does and how SMTP can be used to do exactly what I said it could do.

BBS' have been around longer than your jamnttp server as well.  We're talking
today, not 30 years ago. If you want to live in the past, I suggest you contact
Doc Brown...

Maybe, maybe not.  They all had there own specific way of transmitting
essages.

OK... and you could run that SMTP server to transmit listserv messages. Why are
you bringing a web server into this?  Stay in the discussion David.  You're
slowing shying away from the original discussion of your jamnttp server. Have
you given up on your statements it's not there for the processing of
messages/bulletins from a remote source where it transmits your messages to
others, whether linked to it or not?

Doesn't matter what my definition is.  I am using your description with regard
to moving messages/bulletins via transmission protocols. 

You have yours and I have mine... it's plainly obvious you're set in your ways
even though someone who's worked with jamnttp for many years feels as if it's
basic design was to mimic the workings of a BBS when it comes to
message/bulletin transfers.  

As far as I'm concerned... EOD. 

Enjoy your day...
