   Does it place the proper netmail information in the specied "echomailjam"   
   parameter so there is only one file to contend with? The JamNNTPd   
   configuration file doesn't seem to mention a separate file for netmail.jam. Or   
   does it actually create a netmail.jam separately?

   In my adventures, I'm trying to avoid that. With my Golded/hpt setup, I have   
   hpt creating echotoss.log and Golded creating echoscan.log. Then in my script   
   I use "hpt scan -f" which looks for one of those files, and if not found, it   
   doesn't continue to run. I'm running it all on a Raspberry Pi3 so while I   
   tinker I'm also looking for ways to save resources wherever possible (not that   
   it's a huge deal or anything).   
      
   So with JamNNTPd, I would like to do something similar with the .jam files.   
   More likely writing a wrapper script that runs my newsreader client (slrn),   
   and then when I actually exit the program will continue to do a search for   
   those .jam files and run my tosser if they're found. That way I don't have to   
   run a script with cron or anything that most of the time wouldn't even do   
   anything when no messages are posted from here. And the need to scan all areas   
   when those files are not found wouldn't be necessary either.   
      
   Thanks for the info, Paul!   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
