   Those messages mean that posts from 1:3634/58 are being rejected. Is 1:3634/58   
   your address? What are you trying to import messages from your own address?   
      
   Those log messages are not mentioning posts from any point system. Did you   
   find log messages that refer to posted messages (echomail) from the point   
   system?

   Do you mean areas.bbs (not "area.bbs")? What do you have set in echocfg->Paths   
   and Filenames->Area File?   
      
   If 1:3634/58 is *your* addres, it would not normally be listed in the area   
   file - that's likely a mistake. I would expect to see just *one* linked node   
   on each of those lines and that would be the point system's address.

   It looks wrong.
