[nos-bbs] JNOS 111f - DOS

As already written, make sure you squeeze all the memory out of the DOS
you're using.
I'm currently running DR-DOS 7.03 which can be downloaded from the web. I
started with an earlier version (6.x?) after I was fed up with the M$
version, though that one with QEMM also works and there used to be another
Memory manager that I also have read to work very well. The M$ version on
it's own will not be satisfactory (understatement).

If JNOS is set to have a default route to the Internet, it will indeed relay
any message if you let it. So, just make sure the system only accepts SMTP
to known addresses via the REWRITE file.

The address that I use for this message is one on my JNOS 1.11f on DR-DOS
7.03 machines which currently is the POP3, web and incoming mail server
here.
I do want to split it up in one machine HTTP / MX and another one POP / NNTP
when I get to do some more hardware upgrades.
