So rescanned messages would all be       considered arriving on your system the same day/time you do the rescan.              During the rescan, you would have to specify how far back to rescan messages       in your netmail to the hub, with the rescan options provided from Areafix.       (ie: 30 days, etc).              Regards,       Nick              ...
