also, migrated to Mystic BBS so this is kind of a test too.
Think it is that time of the year. I did test Mystic but never liked it. Sticking with what I know BBBS
Fair enough to stick with what you know.
I migrated away from Windows/Dos in late 1998 with Redhat 5.1, and
I could never get DOS BBS systems to behave or work with telnet for me under any emulator.
I did try SBBS many years ago, though I installed Synchronet which ran
as a private system for friends and family but use dwindled and it sat doing next to nothing, an HDD failure around 15 years ago initially killed it, I had put a stock install of Synchronet on my PC, but until recently hadn't done much with it due to lack of time.
While putting quite a bit of time into getting Synchronet setup/reading the wiki to get the board back online. I stumbled across Mystic. Initially just downloaded it to have a look to see what else was out there, and finding it having a somewhat Remote Access feel I was drawn to it.
I'm finding Mystic's programming language (essentially Pascal) and the implementation of Python quite nice to allow customization.
I don't need HTTP/S or Mail Servers as I already run apache2 and Postfix/Dovecot, and from what I can tell Synchronet's mail server doesn't support DKIM signing, at least not that I could see.
So I figure building Mystic modules to interact with those services shouldn't be too much of a problem.
