[JDEV] Re: [Foundation] Released JabberSMTP v1.00

[Adam Theo]

I have received alot of great feedback about JabberSMTP and Ransom, and 
have made the time to update the JabberSMTP website 
<http://www.theoretic.com/jabbersmtp> with alot more information and 
clarification.

I have now made it very convenient to pay me through PayPal, by setting 
up JabberSMTP as an item:
https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=theo%40theoretic.com&undefined_quantity=1&item_name=JabberSMTP&amount=5.00&no_shipping=1&return=http%3A//www.theoretic.com/jabbersmtp/discuss.cgi&cancel_return=http%3A//www.theoretic.com/jabbersmtp
Or just click from JabberSMTP's website 
<http://www.theoretic.com/jabbersmtp>.

I will now do the same to the Ransom website 
<http://www.theoretic.com/ransom>, to work on the model in general. I 
plan to fully document the progress of JabberSMTP's Ransom here, to 
provide an output of the experiment.
