   Hello Kim,

   Fortunately in this particular situation both systems are under my control.   
   Heck, the    
   PC's are sitting next to each other. :-)   
      
   In this case actual crash mail isn't necessary. All I have to do is tell BBBS   
   to poll    
   1:14/5 which is the primary AKA that Mystic presents and it will poll. And   
   according    
   to the logs complete the poll. Then immediately poll again, and again...

   Yes, entering the "bbbs bom d 1:14/5" looks to stop the polling loop.

   With Mystic there are several levels of logging which includes "Debug". I will   
   increase   
   the log level and see what it can tell me and keep you posted.   
      
   I did also notice that this only happens when BBBS polls a Mystic system. If   
   mystic    
   polls BBBS no such polling loop occurs. As a temporary workaround I started   
   having    
   Mystic do the polling. Which I will change back for testing purposes.
