   On 12/06/16, Wilfred van Velzen pondered and said...

    Wv> Some where near the bottom of my imaginary to-do list, is the option to   
    Wv> choose 'None' as bbs. ;)   
      
   All good :)   
      
    Wv>  PH> I reinstalled it from scratch and imported the fmail.nod file it   
    Wv>  PH> created when I asked it do an exported file,   
    Wv>    
    Wv> fmail.nod is the configuration file that contains the configured nodes.   
    Wv> Is there an import/export function for this file?   
      
   No it seems not, only a copy and paste action on my part. But it seemed to be   
   ok to do.   
      
    Wv> You told me in netmail you are trying to auto configuring 2000+ areas,   
    Wv> with probably a lot of messages you are trying to toss at once. That   
    Wv> will fillup the bad message en dupe boards very quickly. So maybe it   
    Wv> would work if you set those to 'none'!   
      
   Done .. I agree both bad and dupe set to none now..   
      
    Wv>  PH> 20:22:04.117  Error opening c:\fsxuse\fmail\FMAIL32.DUP: No such file   
    Wv>  PH> directory   
    Wv>    
    Wv> This is not a real error, because otherwise FMail would have quit right   
    Wv> there. There was some generic code that always printed this error when   
    Wv> it couldn't open any file. But this has already been removed in the   
    Wv> current beta version...   
    Wv>    
      
   Coolio thanks for doing that Wilfred :)   
      
    Wv>  PH> 20:22:04.382  Error opening C:\FSXUSE\MSGS\FMAIL\NETMAIL\LASTREAD: No

    Wv>    
    Wv> Likewise.   
      
   Noted thanks.

    Wv>  PH> 20:26:54.769  Exiting with errorlevel 1   
    Wv>    
    Wv> I have to look into this, if FTools can do it's job when this file isn't   
    Wv> present. But as suggested by the other Paul you can probably create it   
    Wv> with golded...   
      
   It was a bit of a process to do so, but yes, I started over and I think I may   
   be up and running with things starting to work. Will be able to advise more   
   in next 24 hours - it's been a bit of a process to get to this point but I'm   
   a persevering chap!   
      
    Wv>  PH> Does the first node need to be the same name as the defined sysop as   
    Wv>  PH> it's not? I did not set the first entry up as the sysop.   
    Wv>    
    Wv> No, the configured nodes are kept in a sorted by nodenumber order in the   
    Wv> config file, so that shouldn't matter.   
       
   OK

    Wv> This isn't the complete log, isn't it?   
      
   No just a snippet of one of the many areafixes that were seemingly being   
   acted on but not sent back as a reply. I am waiting on a few Zone 21 nodes to   
   test this out again as I type this reply. Hopefully it will work soon.   
      
   Best, Paul
