[Spread-users] Small Help Needed

[Ryan Caudy]

I don't know the specific Spread library that your using... is it a
wrapper around the C version, or a port?  Regardless, the maximum
length of the private name associated with a Spread connection/mailbox
is 10, without changing definitions in the daemon source code.

Cheers,
Ryan
