   This suggests that the problem is not specific to OpenXP.   
      
    AA> MEANWHILE, 2 of the above contained netmail messages that WERE   
    AA> successfully posted in the netmail area.   
      
   Assuming that the netmails were originally contained in an uncompressed     
   packet(s) and the echomail messages were originally contained in a     
   compressed mail bundle, that may account for why the netmails were tossed     
   successfully. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I recall you saying in a     
   previous post that you were receiving compressed echomail bundles but that     
   you didn't have an unpacker defined in your FSXNet server config. If that     
   was the case, perhaps the mail packets got damaged when OpenXP attempted     
   to unpack the echomail bundle?   
      
   Does this problem still persist?   
      
    AA> Thus "Tossed 9" - ""BAD received 7" = 2   
      
    AA> BUT.. they tossed SUCCESSFULLY in APoint.   
      
   ..... and along comes APoint and spoils the party LOL!   
      
    AA> Hmmmm.   So what would have been the problem?   I could still send you   
    AA> those .pkt files.   
      
   Well, you could send them if you like but whether I could do anything with     
   them is doubtful.
