       ml> i haven't found it so i'm asking... is there any way to have fmail         ml> 1.48 automatically add areas being fed from an uplink instead of         ml> them going into badmail and then having to manually run setup to         ml> manualy configure the areas with a final run to retoss the posts         ml> from the badmail area into the proper area??               ml> it would be so much easier if i could just flip a switch on the         ml> feed's record to automaticall add the areas with defaults and         ml> boogie on...               WvV> You will have to upgrade to atleast the 1.60 version:              hummm...               WvV> NEW FEATURES IN 1.60        WvV> ====================        WvV> ...        WvV> - FTOOLS ADDNEW function has been added. If you run this command        WvV> after new areas have been received (FMail Toss), these areas        WvV> will be added to FMAIL.AR (using the defaults you set on the        WvV> AreaMgr defaults page in FSetup). After that, you can run FMAIL        WvV> TOSS /B to retoss the bad messages. You can detect the arrival        WvV> of new areas by testing from your batch file whether or not        WvV> FMAIL.BDE exists in the FMail directory.              i already do this detection and then fire up the setup program to manually add       the areas...               WvV> If you add the switch /A, the files that are normally updated by        WvV> FSetup's AutoUpdate feature, will also be updated by FTools        WvV> AddNew. ...              thank you for the information... i will consider if i really want to upgrade       to 1.60...              )\/(ark              ---         * Origin: (1:3634/12.42)    |
