   Ok, so you are referring to the same point I read I think, when I compiled   
   this. Rings a bell.   
      
   So doesn't support JAM period. Fine for what I think I would do with most of   
   this, although looking into FMail/Linux seems to click to after reading this.   
      
   But really the point of NetMgr is kind of implicit in its name. NET Manager.

   I always used MSG for netmail, personal messages from echos, and a sent mail   
   archive, and let the tosser move things into those areas. I used Hudson at the   
   time for echos.   
      
   I am only using JAM for echo right now for JamNNTPD since I hacked some fixes   
   to make it respond correctly to MODE READER commands that most NNTP clients   
   issue before doing things. So instead of 500 and causing a failire, it now   
   responds correctly, and the NNTP client is all happy, does its thing. I setup   
   things exactly like I had it before with MSG areas for netmail, sent, personal,   
    just seems easier to me.   
      
   I really should have imaged the old drives of all that stuff before they got   
   put in a box. Some of that setup info would be handy to have right now.
