   First up, I'd suggest a re-compile, or, even a reversion to the Johan Billing   
   original executable (is there one?... I can't even find the Windows one now!    
   Bugger!).   
      
   I had some weirdnesses with a Ubuntu-compiled doover which was fixed by   
   turfing Xubuntu 11.10 to the bit-bucket.  I then installed an old rev of Puppy   
   linux, and reverted to a pre-compiled executable for Puppy.  The previous   
   configs & messagebase were used again (the entire Fido directory tree was   
   backed-up to a .tar), with a change of executable only, and, the weirdness   
   went away.   
      
   Anyhow, here's a copy of my jamnntpd.config file in the vBox system (I gotta   
   change the origin sometime[smack!])...   
      
   === begin ===   
   # Main config of JamNNTPd   
   #   
      
   # -port 119   
   -port 5000   
   #  Set the port where JamNNTPd listens for connections. The default is 5000.   
      
      
   #xxxx modified 10/03/2012   
   -max 20   
   #  The maximum allowed number of connections at one time. The default is 5.   
       
   -groups "/opt/ftn/fido/jamnntpd/jamnntpd.groups"   
   -allow "/opt/ftn/fido/jamnntpd/jamnntpd.allow"   
   -users "/opt/ftn/fido/jamnntpd/jamnntpd.users"   
   -xlat "/opt/ftn/fido/jamnntpd/jamnntpd.xlat"   
   #  Use these to override the default locations of the config files.   
       
   -logfile "/opt/ftn/fido/logfiles/jamnntpd.log"   
   #  Use this to override the default location of the log file.   
      
   #-noecholog   
   #  Disables echoing of log messages to the console window.    
      
   -readorigin   
   #  Get address from the Origin line instead of the OADDRESS field of the JAM    
   #  message header. This option makes JamNNTPd slower, but may be useful if    
   #  your tosser does not set the OADDRESS field.    
      
   -noencode    
   #  JamNNTPd by default MIME-encodes headers with non-ascii characters. If you   
   #  use this option, JamNNTPd will instead send the headers as plain 8-bit text.   
      
   -strictnetmail   
   #  Makes JamNNTPd use strict article counters for netmail messages. Normally   
   #  JamNNTPd uses article counters that include all messages, not only those   
   #  that the user is allowed to read. That behaviour is much faster, but may    
   #  cause your newsreader to indicate the presence of new messages in the    
   #  netmail area even when there are only messages for other users. Using this   
   #  option will make JamNNTPd slower, but speed seems to be acceptable for    
   #  small netmail areas with up to 1000 messages. Users will never be allowed    
   #  to actually read netmail messages of other users even when this option is    
   #  not used.   
      
   -def_flowed on   
   -def_showto on   
   #  Sets the default of the flowed and showto settings (if no default is   
   #  specified on the commandline, both will be on by default) (on/off)   
      
   #nostripre   
   #  JamNNTPd normally strips "Re:" from subject lines of followups. Use   
   #  this option if you want to retain the "Re:".   
        
   #-notearline   
   #  JamNNTPd normally puts the information from the X-Newsreader or User-Agent   
   #  header field in the tearline of posted messages. This option disables this   
   #  behaviour and leaves the tearline blank.   
      
   -noreplyaddr   
   #  JamNNTPd normally adds a REPLYADDR kludge with the e-mail address of the   
   #  sender in posted messages. Use this option if you don't want REPLYADDR   
   #  kludges. See also see section 6.4 below.   
      
   #xxxx modified 14/10/2012   
   # -notzutc   
   #  JamNNTPd normally writes the timezone into a TZUTC kludge when a message   
   #  is posted. You can use this option if you don't want to create TZUTC   
   kludges.   
      
   #nocancel   
   #  Disallows the cancelling (deleting) of messages by the users.   
       
   -smartquote   
   #  The quoting style of most newsreaders is different from traditional fidonet   
   #  software. If you enable this option, JamNNTPd will try to change any quoted   
   #  lines to fidonet style. This means that it will try to insert the initials   
   #  of the person you reply to before the '>' character and also that it will   
   try   
   #  to compound multiple generations of quotes, i.e. "AA> BB>" will be changed   
   #  into "BB>>".   
       
   #xxxx modified 2/2/2012   
   -origin "Paul's Xubuntu vBox - Maryborough, Qld, OZ"   
   #  Normally JamNNTPd uses the text found in the Organization header line as    
   #  the Origin line text in posted messages. You can use this switch to    
   #  override the Organization line and set your own origin for all posted    
   #  messages.    
      
   guestsuffix "[guest]"   
   #  If desired, JamNNTPd can add a suffix to posts from unauthenticated users.    
   #  To activate that feature, specify the suffix here.   
      
   -echomailjam /opt/ftn/fido/sema4dir/sendmail.sem   
   #   If you specify a filename here, JamNNTPd will write a line to this file    
   #   with the messagebase and message number for each message that is posted.   
   #   The file follows the ECHOMAIL.JAM format supported by some tossers.   
      
   #-debug   
   #  If this option is used, JamNNTPd will print all sent and received text   
   #  to the console window. Useful for testing.
