Hello Michiel!

 Dbrige is just as much involved in the actions as your Fmail.
 Ward uses a separate configfile, but the one dbrigde generates is
 perfectly well, it works here for almost a year. So harping on dbridge is
 a waste of time.

 Dbrigde is a scanner, tosser, message editor, scheduler and pots mailer.
 There is no other connection that BSO file area and semaphore files.

 The last few versions were just addition of useless options.
 Almost nay available version shoild wordk with ipv6 as long as it is
 compiled in.
