   Uh, huh.  But there's only the one "-echomailjam" option available in the   
   config file.  There's no other way to trigger outbound scans for other   
   messagebase types, unless you waste processor cycles by running some sort of   
   scheduler, and, then run unnecessary scans even if there ain't no mail to send.

   I only have JAM echomail areas.  No netmail.  Oh, there's a couple of Squish   
   areas with practically no mail and they're never used.  But I ain't running   
   the SMAPI version any longer.

   I don't bother.  I have FE just slam a scan using the "-N" option.  I forget   
   why.  It mush have been important... way back, whenever.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
