   In the Config, under Networks/Fidonet Echo and Netmail there is a spot to tell   
   it where your netmail folder is along with inbound folder.  You don't need to   
   configure a specific sub for netmail.  Echomail is the only configurable sub.

   Again, it sounds like you setup a sub for netmail when one isn't needed.  At   
   the main menu choose "E" then "N" and SBBSecho will send it to the folder you   
   set as I explained above.
