Subject: AutoShare 1.4, a freeware list server
AutoShare 1.4, a freeware list server and auto-responder for EIMS (Eudora
Internet Mail Server, formerly AIMS and MailShare), has been released and
may be downloaded from
(ftp://ftp.dnai.com/users/m/meh/AutoShare/)
and also from the mirror site at
(http://www.dcl.co.uk/MacOS/email/autoshare/)
or by e-mail from
(mailto:autoshare-software@dcl.co.uk)
AutoShare is robust, speedy and requires little memory. The 68K and PowerPC
native server applications, tested with Mac OS 8.0, are fully scriptable
and may be configured using the AutoShare Admin, an administration tool
with balloon help. Lists in the hundreds and subscribers in the thousands
per list are supported, as are subscription, open, moderated, announcement
and private list types.
AutoShare comes complete with script samples and documentation covering
features such as fully automated web archives, remote administration by
e-mail, subscriber and administrator web forms, advanced mail-back
confirmations, automated bounce and unsubscribe module, MIME configuration
of outgoing mail messages, poll feature for voting, subject prefixes in
list contributions, headers and footers in list contributions and digests
and much more.
Version 1.4 offers improvements and bug fixes, expanded full scriptability,
an improved AutoShare Admin, substantial speed and memory refinements,
launching of external applications, keep applications up feature, process
extenders, tip of the day lists, rotating banners, subscriber address
protection, simultaneous text and HTML archives and more.
Process extenders are external (often AppleScript) applications, which
extend the built-in processing of the AutoShare server via pre-defined
entry points.
The HTML documentation includes a fully updated 1.4 Addendum and an Easy
Does It introduction. You can visit the AutoShare home page at
