Brief description
-----------------
NetGate is a gateway utility which allows you to use your Fidonet
newsreader to read Internet e-mail and UseNet news. It runs on top of
AmiTCP or Miami and transfers mail and news to and from your Internet
provider. As such it has a function similar to TrapDoor (familiar to those
with a Fidonet background), although in practice the two operate very
differently.
Here is a brief list of features:
* Reads and writes FTSC-1 compliant (*.PKT/*.OUT) mail and news bundles.
* Sends and receives mail and news directly from your provider's mail and
news daemons. No intermediate, third party software required.
* Advanced UseNet news filtering
* MIME compatible, including quoted-printable and base64
* Session retrieve limits (configurable per newsgroup)
* Moderated newsgroups
* Advanced stripping/kludging of UseNet header information
* Configurable, highly detailed logging
* Handles special UseNet headers like X-FTN-To:
* Full support for mailing lists.
* Full support for incoming and outgoing file attachments!
* Spam filtering
* Automatic, configurable notification of new newsgroups on your news
server.
* Utility to keep you notified of new, incoming e-mail
* Much more! :-)
NetGate is shareware. The demo version is fully functional but imposes a
few limitations to encourage registration. Shareware fee is $20.
