miniRelay (by NetVicious)
documentation by Tim Musson
There are 2 parts to the basic window.
  • The Information/Options bar at the top.
    Status:
    • # sent (on to the next MTA)
    • # waiting (in the queue)
    Buttons:
    • Configuration (Pops up the Configuration pannel)
    • DropDown (Drops down the Info/Help/About window)
  • The Activity window.
    • Shows activity with both connecting MUA's (Clients) and other MTA's (Servers) it connects to.
      The Same info with the addition of the Date is put in the Log if selected.
    • You can Right Click to get a Copy / Select All / Clear menu (which mapps to Ctrl+C / Ctrl+A as expected, Ctrl+F9 to clear).
The Language setting is in the Drop Down menu instead of the Configuation Pannels so you can figure out how to set it in any language...
