   I can't seem to get this software to work   
      
   I have it set for Binkley/Portal of Power and BBS Program of RemoteAccess <   
   2.00    
      
   I'm not using a BBS with it just trying to use it as a tosser with BinkD   
      
   I reinstalled it from scratch and imported the fmail.nod file it created when   
   I asked it do an exported file, I also imported the areas.bbs file I exported   
   from the first version.   
      
   Then I set up message base > netmail board > Main > 1   
      
   Set Bad message brd to 2 and dupe board to 3 and left recover to non   
   Set auto renumber to 500   
      
   Asides message base sharing set to yes (default) and a path to a tossed areas   
   list nothing else is set to yes on that screen   
      
   In directories I have defined different dirs for both message base and   
   netmail and I have stated the correct incoming / outgoing as per binkd paths   
      
   Here are the logs after I did this then sent an areafix to 21:1/10 from my   
   21:1/101 system   
      
   It worked in that I got a reply but you will also note the errors.    
      
   After that first attempt I modified my toss.bat to include the import feature   
   as I thought that may be the problem.   
      
    FMAILW32 TOSS   
    FMAILW32 IMPORT   
    FMAILW32 PACK   
      
   but it did little.   
      
   logs to follow

   Does the first node need to be the same name as the defined sysop as it's   
   not? I did not set the first entry up as the sysop.   
      
   I'm at a loss how to get this to run. What I am seeing is people trying to   
   send areafix netmails and they are not being acted on despite seemingly being   
   reported as arrived and processed by areamgr ... nothing is being created or   
   sent back
