   ok...

    BB> There are not any ?LO or other files for sending that I can find.    
      
   that would seem to be your problem then... is VADV configured to use BSO or   
   fileattach? (first question above)   
      
   VADV may not have this option... i don't know... generally one sees it as a   
   request to define which mailer they are using... does VADV have a section   
   asking what mailer you are using??   
      
    ml>  is argus is a pure BSO mailer...   
      
    BB> Below is an excerpt from the Argus help file that may assist in   
    BB> trouble shooting.   
      
   it reads like it is pure BSO... the reason i asked about this is because   
   Taurus is the third generation of the Argus mailer family... i /know/ that   
   Taurus can scan the netmail folder and pack netmail like my frontdoor setup   
   does... it also works in BSO with ?LO files being generated by my fmail   
   installation... fmail is configured for binkleyterm as the mailer... yes, i've   
   been playing with this these last few days... i'm sure that paul quinn can   
   confirm this if he wants to considering the quantity of netmail i've been   
   tossing at his system during the testing of the routing of the dynamic   
   functions ;)   
      
   the version of Taurus i'm running is a beta and it definitely has problems...   
   currently i can crash it any time by trying to browse the nodelist... i know   
   of no fix for this at this time... this is, IIRC, the last version that was   
   released before the author stopped work on Taurus... i will have to do some   
   deep digging to locate the archive for this version...
