   yeah, not... FA generally need to be sent directly to the other system... some   
   systems do allow for routing file attaches but there are many that still do   
   not... i used to allow routed FA through my old system but i don't think my new   
    one does...   
      
    AA> But attachments are certainly not an allowed feature originating from   
    AA> nntp-netmail to my uplink.   
      
   very true... those so-called file attaches are actually uuencoded, xxencoded,   
   or MIME encoded and so are actually in the body of the message... they also   
   take 1/3rd more space than FTN file attaches which go "in the raw"...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...   
   ... I can be one of those bad things that happens to bad people.
