   Hello Wilfred!

So I should not even have to define the "Netmail" area? I'll give that a try, as well. The easier/simpler my config, the better.

 WV> AREADEF NETMAIL              "Netmail area"          0 Net FIDO

 WV> I haven't configured a "BBS area file path"...

Then I shall get rid of mine, as well and see what happens... :-)
