   Some where near the bottom of my imaginary to-do list, is the option to choose   
   'None' as bbs. ;)

   fmail.nod is the configuration file that contains the configured nodes. Is

   You told me in netmail you are trying to auto configuring 2000+ areas, with   
   probably a lot of messages you are trying to toss at once. That will fillup   
   the bad message en dupe boards very quickly. So maybe it would work if you set   
   those to 'none'!

   This is not a real error, because otherwise FMail would have quit right there.   
   There was some generic code that always printed this error when it couldn't   
   open any file. But this has already been removed in the current beta version...

   Likewise.

   I have to look into this, if FTools can do it's job when this file isn't   
   present. But as suggested by the other Paul you can probably create it with   
   golded...

   No, the configured nodes are kept in a sorted by nodenumber order in the   
   config file, so that shouldn't matter.

   This isn't the complete log, isn't it?   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
