It could be used, but since there aren't external message readers that read 
Synchronet's message base format (as far as I can tell) you'd be using a 
whole BBS as a single-user system.

I'd think you'd be better off with either a dedicated system like WinPoint, 
or the last time I ran a point, I used Maximus as a BBS, with Squish as a 
tosser. I took my config over to a new system, removed the BBS, left the 
mailer and used Timed to read the Squish message bases. Even that's 
overkill.


.... How would someone else do it?
