obviously not a new msg area! :-)

it will definitely slow down the response of the "LIST" command, so don't

Will also have to make sure it doesn't drop regular messages for some

exec/nntpservice.js
Log Message:
Insure that message base is closed before opening another.

This should address the issue raised by Michael J. Ryan in issue #4.
The command in question ("GROUP") would attempt to open the message
base associated with the specified newsgroup name without closing
the currently open/selected message base (if there was one). This would
result in multiple simultaneously open message bases and could result
in an exhaustion of open file descriptors leading to a failure to open
any additional files (includign message bases) and thus a subsequent
"GROUP" command would fail with the wrong "!no such group" error.

FYI:

i found that cardbook extension of thunderbird did not work with sbbs

Anyway, this issue is only with sbbs service, i have another nntp

yeah i guess that parsing the from address was cause this issue

maybe the "/" char break the standard use@domain (rf822) ? if true, can
be possible to replace with another character?

Looking at that issue report, it seems it had problems with user@ADDRESSes that did not include "/" as well, so I don't think that was the issue.

Nothing in RFC822 appears to disallow a "/" in the "domain" portion of the mailbox addr-spec.
