As I pointed out in other mail, I believe the free alternatives are not cooperating well with the commercial Zmodem from Omen, especially on noisy lines. For this reason I objected to removing rzsz. For me, this change represents loss of functionality for no good reason. > If nothing else works, you can always compile rzsz from the original > source. What is the point of removing standard and well working port only because you dislike personally what it does? If you don't like it sending mails, don't use it, that's fine. But why make it harder for those who want to use it?
