   why not have allfix post the announcements to a PKT and then import that like   
   any other echomail? generally this is done via a local inbound directory where   
   tools that post like this can put their PKTs... before the age of secure and   
   insecure inbounds, it was called a "secure" directory because you knew which   
   programs were allowed to write to them... i don't know what they might be   
   called today... i'm also not aware of sbbsecho having such a directory... it   
   might work just fine to point allfix to your normal secure inbound unless   
   sbbsecho will gripe about a PKT from your address to your address... if it   
   does, rob might be willing to add an additional directory entry with slightly   
   relaxes rules to sbbsecho and echocfg...   
      
   )\/(ark   
      
   ... Those who get too big for their britches will be exposed in the end.
