CrashMail II is a Fidonet tosser/scanner with a built-in AreaFix implementation, support for Binkley style outbound (BSO), and message filtering capabilities.

This is a fork of Johan Billing's CrashMail II distribution. Major changes in this fork include:

• Support for 64-bit operating (POSIX) operating systems.
• A revamped build system with integrated testing
• No more support for non-POSIX operating systems.

If you run into any problems with this code, plase report them to the project bugtracker.

To compile CrashMail II, run make:

make

To run the test suite:

make tests

To install everything:

make install

If you are building packages, the Makefile supports the standard DESTDIR= option.

The man page for crashlist says:

Pointlists should be in BinkleyTerm format and should be specified after the real nodelists.

I wasn't sure what exactly a BinkleyTerm format pointlist should look like. Looking through the code, the following seems to work. Given a nodelist that looks like this:

Zone,99,Test_Zone,Test_Locale,Test_Sysop,0-000-000-0000,300,INA:localhost,IBN
Host,99,Test_Net,Test_Locale,Test_Sysop,0-000-000-0000,300,INA:localhost,IBN
,1,Test_Host_1,Test_Locale,Test_Sysop,0-000-000-0000,300,INA:localhost,IBN
,99,Test_Host_2,Test_Locale,Test_Sysop,0-000-000-0000,300,INA:localhost,IBN

Then your pointlist could look like this:

Zone,99,Test_Zone,Test_Locale,Test_Sysop,0-000-000-0000,300,INA:localhost,IBN
Host,99,Test_Net,Test_Locale,Test_Sysop,0-000-000-0000,300,INA:localhost,IBN
,1,Test_Host_1,Test_Locale,Test_Sysop,0-000-000-0000,300,INA:localhost,IBN
Point,1,Test_Point_1,Test_Locale,Test_Sysop,0-000-000-0000,300,INA:localhost,IBN

Or like this (if you are running CrashMail > 0.86):

Boss,99:99/1
Point,1,Test_Point_1,Test_Locale,Test_Sysop,0-000-000-0000,300,INA:localhost,IBN
