who uses autosend. what all does it do?

[MarkHofmann11]

I use AutoSend. You can use it to do the following:

1) AutoPost any content on any date you want. 2) Post hosted sub subscribers (BBS list) 3) Monthly posts per sub stats, new subscribers/nodes added since the past month.

I should have some same posts from AutoSend on all the subs that I host on Weather Station.

From the AutoSend docs:

AutoSend was originally written to automatically send old posts to new subscribers who auto-request network subs. Since then, AutoSend has grown to be a full-featured network sub host utility.

AutoSend Features (all are configurable):

Graphical packet scanning Sends old posts to new subscribers Keeps log of amount of posts sent Posts sub rules on new subscriber's system Posts subscription lists (colors are configurable) Posts new subscriber lists (colors are configurable) Posts sub statistics (colors are configurable) Posts sub ads, rules, etc. on any sub Posts lists of subs hosted/gated on any network sub Profanity filter Send e-mail to sub subscribers Send e-mail to sub host if receiving unwanted posts on their sub Send e-mail to sysop of system posting on sub without being a subscriber Removes unknown systems from N*.NET files and keeps a log Sorts and removes duplicates from N*.NET files Returns dead network e-mail to sender Sends e-mail to sub host if dead posts are found Keeps detailed error log if any errors occur Configuration program for ease of use WWIV v4.23 multi-instance compatible WWIV v4.24 compatible (including WWIV.INI support)
