In the Config, under Networks/Fidonet Echo and Netmail there is a spot to tell it where your netmail folder is along with inbound folder. You don't need to configure a specific sub for netmail. Echomail is the only configurable sub. > > JS> Further, when I try to enter a netmail message in SBBS it asks to > JS> enter a nodes address as > JS> n:nnn/nnn@fidonet. Which is ok.

At the main menu choose "E" then "N" and SBBSecho will send it to the folder you set as I explained above. > Sorry I couldn't help you much past that... JS> Thanks anyway.
