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?
