This suggests that the problem is not specific to OpenXP.

Assuming that the netmails were originally contained in an uncompressed  
packet(s) and the echomail messages were originally contained in a  
compressed mail bundle, that may account for why the netmails were tossed  
successfully. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I recall you saying in a  
previous post that you were receiving compressed echomail bundles but that  
you didn't have an unpacker defined in your FSXNet server config. If that  
was the case, perhaps the mail packets got damaged when OpenXP attempted  
to unpack the echomail bundle?

Does this problem still persist?

 AA> Thus "Tossed 9" - ""BAD received 7" = 2

 AA> BUT.. they tossed SUCCESSFULLY in APoint.

...... and along comes APoint and spoils the party LOL!

 AA> Hmmmm.   So what would have been the problem?   I could still send you

Well, you could send them if you like but whether I could do anything with  
them is doubtful.

Regards,
Martin
