I would imagine you're using the right one. I took a look at nntpserv.h and it shows:

#define SERVER_NAME       "JamNNTPd/" PLATFORM_NAME
#define SERVER_VERSION    "1.3"
#define SERVER_PIDVERSION "1"

So that's why it's showing you using Jamnntpd/Linux 1 instead of 1.3. In most other versions those two numbers are the same. Not a big deal, though.

Ah, as long as it worked, I guess you're all good!

I actually tried enabling multilib on my 64bit Archlinux, and installed 32bit libraries. Then added "-m32" to Makefile.linux in the source directory as well as the jamlib directory.. and after a successful compile of Jamnntpd 1.3, it was a *little* better, but it was still broken. :(

I think I'm just going to stick with Smapinntpd and see if I can get the From field working properly in Thunderbird, some day.. maybe. lol

It's not too difficult. Just pay attention to detail, back up the original, and make sure you don't make any typos. ;)

 W> Thanks so much for your help with this, much appreciated!

No problem. Glad you got it working!

Regards,
Nick
