Frequently Asked Questions
Q. R:BASE for DOS supports UDF's, so will this Plug-In work with DOS versions of R:BASE?
A. No. R:Mail for R:BASE is a WIN32 Plug-In that is only supported in a Windows environment.
Q. Does it matter which mail client (Eudora, Outlook, etc.) that I am using?
A. No. R:Mail for R:BASE works COMPLETELY independent of mail clients. R:Mail accesses your SMTP mail server directly.
Q. How large of an attachment can I send?
A. Keep in mind that all servers have different limitations, and unless you know the limitations of your recipient's server, your message could bounce. R:Mail has worked successfully with attachments totalling 5 MB in size. Any attachment, or collective attachments that total more than 5 MB in size are to be sent at your discretion.
Q. How fast and how many messages is R:Mail capable of sending?
A. R:Mail's speed is completely dependent on your network's capabilities and the speed of your internet connection. R:Mail will NOT flood the server with messages because it waits until each message is sent before returning focus back to R:BASE. Thus, it is perfectly safe to implement R:Mail in WHILE loops.
Q. Can each machine that R:Mail is installed on keep separate settings so that multiple SMTP servers can be utilized while accessing the same database?
A. Yes. R:Mail maintains registry settings on each individual machine giving each machine unique customization.
