Hi! rick,

It strips SEENBYs.  In my case it was doing this with inbound out-of-zone echomail, since I had created this node specifically to interface with my Z1 & Z2 friends.

Kewl.

 rc> crashmail SETTINGS crashmail.prefs SCAN

I didn't/don't want to say too much as my config is somewhat tainted, though at times it seemed possessed.  Since CM acts as the go-getter for both Golded & JamNNTPd, I've wrapped CM in Toss & Scan shell scripts that look for various semaphores depending on whether CM should be processing netmail &/or echomail.

To put it simply, the guts of their operation takes the form of: "export" the path&filename of the CM prefs file to an envar, and then 'crashmail SCAN' or 'crashmail TOSS'.

The Scan shell script is quite complex with three or four multi-level if-else-fi tests, looking for semaphores.  If there is a difficult way of doing things, then that's what I've managed to do.

My thoughts exactly, also.  I've looked at several options of recent months, and nothing comes close.  I'm holding out till Wilfred van Velzen comes good with a Linux flavour of FMail.

Cheers,
Paul.
