   My linux server's primary drive was starting to show signs of failure, so I   
   had to migrated to a new drive and took the opportunity to the migrate to a   
   newer system as well. It took a few hours.

   synchro.net/sbbslist.html is regenerated nightly. It can take a little while   
   to see your changes there. If you login to Vertrauen and use the Synchronet   
   BBS List door, you'll see the changes sooner.

   Same reason I just explained above.   
      
    > How can I update the mail list? It looks good on my board.   
      
   If you're on DOVE-Net or FidoNet and the entry has been exported to SYNCDATA,   
   it should appear in the newly generated sbbslist.html within 24 hours.

   The stock text/menu/logoff.msg file endswith this:   
   Or try one of these systems, today:   
      
   @exec:sbbslist-logoff@   
      
   Does yours?
