 BB> I am running a WINXP box with Argus set up as my mailer and VFIDO

 ml> is VADV configured for binkleyterm style outbound or file attach
 ml> like frontdoor? 

 ml> are those mail files in your OUT PKTs and/or mail bundles like MO1?

 BB> I have both PKTs and Bundles waiting to send.

ok...

 ml> are they accompanied by a ?LO file? without a ?LO file, they can't
 ml> won't go anywhere 

 BB> There are not any ?LO or other files for sending that I can find. 

that would seem to be your problem then... is VADV configured to use BSO or 
fileattach? (first question above)

VADV may not have this option... i don't know... generally one sees it as a 
request to define which mailer they are using... does VADV have a section 
asking what mailer you are using??

 ml>  is argus is a pure BSO mailer...

 BB> Below is an excerpt from the Argus help file that may assist in
 BB> trouble shooting.

it reads like it is pure BSO... the reason i asked about this is because Taurus 
is the third generation of the Argus mailer family... i /know/ that Taurus can 
scan the netmail folder and pack netmail like my frontdoor setup does... it 
also works in BSO with ?LO files being generated by my fmail installation... 
fmail is configured for binkleyterm as the mailer... yes, i've been playing 
with this these last few days... i'm sure that paul quinn can confirm this if 
he wants to considering the quantity of netmail i've been tossing at his system 
during the testing of the routing of the dynamic functions ;)

the version of Taurus i'm running is a beta and it definitely has problems... 
currently i can crash it any time by trying to browse the nodelist... i know of 
no fix for this at this time... this is, IIRC, the last version that was 
released before the author stopped work on Taurus... i will have to do some 
deep digging to locate the archive for this version...
