To consolidate the changes that have been made over the last year, the Weasel mail server has been updated to version 1.78. You can download it from
http://www.pmoylan.org/pages/os2/weasel.html
or from
ftp://ftp.pmoylan.org/Weasel/weasel178.zip
or by searching for "weasel" on Hobbes.

Weasel is a mail server for OS/2. As well as supporting the basic mail server functions, it has many security features such as filtering, authentication, blacklists, etc. The standard version is shareware but registration is optional. Registration is required to upgrade to the "Pro" version which supports multiple mail domains.
