<P>Well, you need help - isn't :) ... hmm .. i could be sarcastic and just say
|
|
"you could better do it again, 'coz it looks a messy enuf" - or .. i could
|
|
help ... - I wrote down some common problems - IF you got any problem NOT
|
|
listed in this HOWTO (section) - then mail me - and i'll put it in this howto
|
|
even with your name/email addr in it :). **BEFORE** mailing to me - please
|
|
look if you didn't forgot anything - and IF you want some help from me - send
|
|
me the MOST DETAILED information - included the scripts & things you needed.
|
|
i DON'T need any binaries - since i won't run them.

connected to it - so the users can get their mail that way, or you can

generate a link between a bulletin board and his mail, you could even
