That's what we thought as well (Tommi Koivula had a look over my config file also), but no, nothing in the config file to help.  That's not the only bug BTW.  Though as I said, it may be different for another feller.

I tried running CM in what I call a 'shadow' system: this node's CM was pushing unprocessed inbound mail packets to the shadow via a binkD filebox, to its binkD.  The shadow was running the same CM config file with different locally-compiled versions of CM code from SourceForge.

From memory, v1.05 trashed pre-existing v0.71 JAM areas and used to crash Golded sometimes.  Version 1.04 seemed to be better & didn't crash Golded but I do recall it had problems with dupe detection; it just flat-out missed some dupes.  In the end, v0.71 was still the best.

Yeah, I toyed with FMail last century and liked it.  Nearly as good as FastEcho that I still run on my main Win98 node.

Good man!  That's what I keep telling Wilfred, whenever the opportunity presents.  8-)

Cheers,
Paul.
