I have to admit I got annoyed enough at work to sit down and tweak 
smtpserv.c, recompile and install a wildcard version on the work dialup 
account. Apart from not spotting that the wildmat() function returns the 
opposite to strncmp() (which meant it would *only* receive mail from 
those in the list!) on the first attempt, it appears to work OK. If 
anyone who is running the Dislan stuff I put on the ftp site a while 
back is interested, I can upload the Netware-aware version to Demon.

All I need to do now is get the OS/2 version similarly modified, 
although I can't compile that here yet :(

Perhaps Niel Kempson could oblige with a new version?
