   I think you could. I don't run a bbs, so scan after a caller isn't an issue on   
   my system. But I do run a toss after each mailer session. It's so fast, I   
   don't have to give it another thought:

   I get hardly any port scans on the binkp port. And binkd only triggers a toss   
   if there was a true mailer session, and pkt's received...

   Ideas are ok, but I've very little time for working on fmail. Work, living,   
   etc... ;)   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
