Disclaimer

Please note that all Voyager developments on this page should be regarded as BETA-TEST and is installed at your own risk.

Before installing new software, you should make a backup of your !Voyager application so that in the case of problems, you can revert back to your previously working version. The simplest way of doing this is to create a new directory called "Voybckup" (or similar) and simply copy your entire !Voyager application into it).

These are 'non-official' releases. For support, contact me

Before intalling a new version, please ensure that you have QUIT both Posty and Voyager, then decompress the downloaded archive (using something like !SparkFS or !SparkPlug) and drag over the top of your existing Voyager. All the relevant files will then be updated.

New Transports

Some mailing lists are seriously broken - ie. SmartGroups, which means that they generate invalid reply-to addresses with which to subscribe/unsubscribe. This actually contravenes section 4.5.3.1 of RFC 2821 which states that the maximum permissable 'local-part' of an email address is 64 characters.

However, as complaining to some of these American corporates is likely to be totally ignored (why on earth people still support them I've no idea....) I've reluctantly hacked SMTPSend to make it support these invalid addresses.

This new version of SMTPSend will remove the 64 character length restriction on outgoing email addresses and should allow subscription/unsubscription from mailing lists which generate long reply addresses.

Voyager 2.08 [beta]

This is no longer available from this site, because it was designed for the old Argonet system and is incompatible with the new Orpheus ISP.

Orpheus Compatibility

Before you can connect to Orpheus Internet using Voyager, you need to run an 'upgrade/conversion' utility which is available from Orpheus. This is available on Orpheus' own support pages.

32-bit??

I am currently evaluating how easy it will be to convert Voyager to 32-bit operation. So far I already have the four transport mechanisms working. These are !NNTPFetch, !NNTPSend, !POP3Fetch and !SMTPSend. Watch this space for further updates!

WebLoad3

WebLoad is no longer supported. Updating your website should be performed using FTP
