But thats not the issue. I have        JE> the setting in the .ini to process echomail mail from the unsecure        JE> folder. It does process the .PKT but skips tossing in to the msg base.              As Jay mentioned: At least one of the issues here is that echomail will never       be allowed from unsecure packets. If it was, then anyone could easily destroy       networks with spam posts and floods (and trust me there are spammers and       others childish people enough to do stuff like that unfortunately).              When processing unsecured PKTs is enabled, it will only process netmail and       skip over any echomail. That is what you see happening in your logs.              If you want to accept echomail from an incoming connection they have to be a       known connection. To do this they need to be setup in your echomail nodes,       they need to present the same address you've set them up for, and they need to       have an agreed password to authenticate.              If you do have them setup and its still going to unsecured, then the issue is       likely found in the mis.log which will detail the BINKP authentication. Most       likely in this case they are not presenting the same address to you that you       have configured for them.              ...
