I only may access ftpmail robots (through email!).
Of course you do, somewhere, or else the ftp part of it wouldn't work. I assume what you have on your end is an intermittent uucp connection for email (and why you think uucp is somehow different at the transport layer than smtp is beyond me, but that's another argument). You already have a bot that makes ftp connections and sends you an email of the contents, right? On the machine that has the ftpbot, write a short script that does this for you - a combination of dig (to check txt records to see if an update is necessary), wget (to fetch the files), and uuencode and mail (to actually send the files) is all that's necessary. The mail part should be transparent - if the MTA on that machine has a uucp route for you, it will handle getting the mail to you. > M> You are disclaimimg a method with no valid reason.

The people working on it are volunteers, writing code because they need/want/enjoy the project. If you are unhappy with something, make a suggestion. If people tell you they are not going to implement it for you, then go do it yourself - badgering people who have already donated hundreds of hours of work to you, absolutely free, is not going to do anything except irritate them. Enough with this thread already, please. Several people have given you several ways to do what you want to do. The rest is up to you now.
