   That's what is happening now.  I have over 1.100 messages in the dupe area.  I   
   might set the maintenance to keep them for 3 days only and be done with them.   
      
    sl>  or when you have run a few times "%rescan" at your uplink   
      
   I found out how -not- to do that too many times on a test system here (with   
   Crashmail).  I started off with copying the JAM files to the system and then   
   commenced forwarding messages to it, and then did a %rescan.  Of course, a lot   
   of dupes made it into the echo areas since the original messages' data had   
   never been entered into the dupe database.  A definite 'no no'.  I deserve a   
   smack! for that.  :)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
