Pratkill.exe is a server for Winpack to Replace
Pratrap which can cause a ping pong effect.

If you are using Pratrap, then please replace it
With Pratkill

It's purpose is to delete any private message as
soon as it is received by Winpack if the callsign
is found in a file called prat.lst.

It was pointed out to me that to have it return
the message or report the fact the message was
killed could cause a ping pong effect if both
stations were using Pratrap and rejected each
others mail, so please replace it with Pratkill


As Winpack users know, you can stop bulletins been
downloaded from certain stations by using [NOT FROM]
in the selection list, but all SP mail is collected,
so the only way to get rid of unwanted mail from
stations that bother you is to use a server that
deletes them as soon as they arrive

To install:-

Place Pratkill.exe into your Winpack folder
Place !Pratkill.pif into your Winpack\servers\receive
folder.

Note!!

Don't remove the ! from the shortcut title as it ensures the
server runs before other servers.


If your Winpack folder is other than C:\WINPACK then you
must alter the path in the shortcut !Pratkill.pif

Using an editor such as Notepad make a file called
prat.lst in the Winpack folder containing the callsigns
of the stations you never want to see any mail from.

Start each line with a callsign, then you can if you wish,
add a comment after at least one space. The comment will
not be passed on.
Example:-

G1NNB
G4LBJ is very annoying. Seems to dislike me.

----------------
It kills the SP messages from stations in the list. It does not put them in the recycle bin.

OK, This is free for all to use with Winpack, but should it cause any problems, I accept no liability for any loss incurred.

       ***** You use it at your own risk. *****
