   I don't suspect that I changed it as I would have had no reason to and was   
   not even aware of that setting until this conversation.  I suspect it has been   
   set that way, by default, since I first installed synchronet ~20 years ago.   
      
   I will set it to the more recent default.

   So it will show up in the sbbs console, and the syslog, if set to   
   "informational"?   
      
   > SBBSecho is behaving exactly as designed and documented, it appears to me.   
      
   That might be but if sbbsecho is getting a "lock" on a non-existant file   
   (which it should be able to tell because it cannot find the proper time to   
   display - it displays ??:??), I would strongly suggest the message in that   
   case is more than just "informational"...  there *is* something wrong that   
   *will* require intervention if you want mail to keep flowing.
