I've finish setting this up and i restarted the SBBS instance, Now to test I'm planning on loggin in to my *test* system and tru sending email.

More or less related, hwre do I check sbbs log, I found sbbsecho's under the data dir, but I can't seem to find eother sbbs or binkit logs, I wnated to check what happens behind the scenes and check for any errors.

I can always start sbbs clean and checl the terminal...

Best regards.

David
