   Yeah, I have tried several differant araingements to see how and if works. I   
   did try multiple netmail areas. But there doesn't seem to be an option to   
   assign a particular aka to the/a netmail area. BBBS sends the netmail to the   
   correct FTN address. It looks like the mail processor BBBS doesn't correctly   
   match my aka to the destination address. Im awaiting a response from the   
   author to make sure that the syntax is correct since BBBS uses regexps alot in   
   it's configuration and operation.   
      
   I am departing somewhat from what the BBBS documentation suggests in netmail   
   area setup. It doesn't mention any option for multiple netmail areas and puts   
   all netmails regardless of FTN in a single directory. I would prefer to have   
   seperate netmail areas for each FTN. If there is away to make it work I will   
   find it. :-)
