Subj : Re: No compression to one node To : Torsten Bamberg From : Marc Lewis Date : Tue Oct 30 2018 07:08 pm Hello Torsten. ML> He would prefer to receive everything uncompressed, but I'm not sure ML> that Squish can do this. TB> Well, no, squish can't sent echomail uncompressed by default. But, TB> if you define a different squish.cfg witout any packer defintions, TB> all pakets will be uncompressed. After reading throught the documentation, this is the same conclusion I came to. But switching back and forth for one Node would be, at best, impractical. TB> If you want to sent netmail without compression, do a 'squish out' TB> without 'squash'. Yes, and the same is true for an EchoMail outbound scan, but the outbound directory would become a nightmare. It's a Binkley style outbound and Binkley doesn't recognise uncompressed packets IIRC; Internet Rex does, but tends to miss some from time-to-time. TB> Compressing mail was one of the main features of squish. Indeed. It was, if I'm not mistaken, one of the first tossers that did it automatically, first to the FidoNet ARC standard, then expanding out to handle multiple archivers/unarchivers. MarK Lewis pointed out that now-a-days it hardly makes sense to waste compute cycles to archive outbound packets due to the connectivity via the internet now commonly utilised; but still, there are traditional Binkley based mailers that require compressed mail bundles with their attendant .?LO files. I still have users that come in over POTS line and get their mail and others that telnet into the system to Binkley and pick up mail that way. I'm just going to leave everything alone... It's been working for the last 25 years with few major failures. :-) TB> Possibly hpt/fastecho can handle uncompressed mail, but I really TB> don't know this, because im not using one of them. Every one that I can think of does so, in fact, I believe it's an FTS requirement. Best regards - Herzliche Gre, Marc --- timEd/2 1.10.y2k+ * Origin: Sursum Corda!
