Weasel is a mail server supporting
the POP3 and SMTP protocols. You need a mail server if you want to set
up your computer to accept mail for multiple users. The SMTP component
sends and receives the mail, and the POP3 component lets users log in
and fetch the mail that has arrived for them.
An e-mail server would not be complete without some sort of junk mail control. Weasel allows you to reject mail from a specified list of hosts, and it lets you specify which hosts are allowed to relay mail via your machine. It also lets you define your own filters. You could, for example, write a Rexx script that rejected mail that contained certain keywords. Username aliases are supported, and you can create an alias that will expand out to a mixture of local and non-local addresses. Configuration of the server is easy. You have the choice between a traditional text-based Setup program or a PM-based one. You can also do remote configuration. The standard version of
Weasel allows you to host one mail
domain. For multiple mail domains, you need to enter a valid
"Weasel Pro" registration code in order to activate the "Pro" features.
Optional extra: an IMAP4 addon for Weasel Pro. This is not yet the production version, and in fact it has a major bug in handling mail with large attachments; but it's now very close to being the final release. Weasel may also be found at the usual OS/2 archive sites, for example BMT Micro and Hobbes. Typically these are the most recent "major update", so they might be slightly behind the version kept on this site. If downloads from my site are slow for you, you might like to try the following alternatives:
