Ok, so you are referring to the same point I read I think, when I compiled
this. Rings a bell.

So doesn't support JAM period. Fine for what I think I would do with most of
this, although looking into FMail/Linux seems to click to after reading this.

But really the point of NetMgr is kind of implicit in its name. NET Manager.

I always used MSG for netmail, personal messages from echos, and a sent mail
archive, and let the tosser move things into those areas. I used Hudson at the
time for echos.

I am only using JAM for echo right now for JamNNTPD since I hacked some fixes
to make it respond correctly to MODE READER commands that most NNTP clients
issue before doing things. So instead of 500 and causing a failire, it now
responds correctly, and the NNTP client is all happy, does its thing. I setup
things exactly like I had it before with MSG areas for netmail, sent, personal,
 just seems easier to me.

I really should have imaged the old drives of all that stuff before they got
put in a box. Some of that setup info would be handy to have right now.
