I run mine on a A1200. :D

bbses?
Currently I'm not, but in the long run I want to run it if possible
under UAE on one of my Raspberry PIs.
This is not because of the lack of real hardware, but more to protect it. My hope is stil that Mirko Viviani will release this year a new y2k fixed version of GMS Mailer. Otherwise I would need to rely on Trapdoor.
I am also going to try to run it under emulation on y Rpi3. Is
trapdoor available anywhere?

Trapdoor is available on Aminet, but it requires a license file. I'm
not sure if there has been a generic license file released, though. Whereas I do not have contact to Max, I do have contact to Mirko,
author of GMS Mailer. So, chances are better to have a license key
free version of GMS than of Trapdoor.

If you are running in emulator and have a shared filesystem between the Amiga and the host you also have the possibility to run mailer and
tosser on the host system. I'm running Binkp and Crashmail in Linux and NiKom can read the message base through the shared file system.

You should be able to grab it from Aminet, if not, I'm sure I have a
copy of it here somewhere. Let me know if you want me to dig for it.

It it on Aminet but requires a license. Not sure if they still produce license for that. BTW, my CNet BBS is at necrobbs.strangled.net:40
Thanks

Will have to try that, thanks.

And if your running you system on a real amiga, I can up with a way
of using
binkd on a pi and having it pass files, both inbound and outbound
stuff via
a null modem cable and some scripting. I could never get the Amiga
build of
binkd to work.

There was several versions of Binkd available under the name AmiBinkd
but they were all terrible in terms of memory leakage which eventually brought the entire system down. I tried them all and the last one,
v9.04 I believe, did not perform any better. The source for this
version was never published and I believe the person behind it tried to charge money for it for a while, hence it was removed from Aminet.

Too bad. Maybe it's time to dust off some old amiga programming and
give
this a crack.

No puns intended, of course. Bv)=
Actually I was referring to "crack" - as in, sometimes, with
abandonware one has to crack the registration codes in order to use the program as there is no legitimate way to register it.
Software pirates use cracks all the time on live software - which is
NOT what I
was implying. Much/most Amiga warez are abandonware - in many cases
the developers are taking the dirt nap. BV(=
