      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
