Hi Everyone,

I have a strange (most likely caused by me) issue with D'Bridge not picking
up echomail written by users on my BBS.

I run RemoteAccess (running in a DOS session in Windows) and D'Bridge
(running simultaneously in another DOS session).

I can receive echo/netmail no problem.  D'Bridge routes the messages into
RA's messagebase without any issue.
But if I write a message in an echo area from within RA, DB doesn't see the
message, even thought the dbridge.rse or .rsn files are created (I can see DB
checking when the .rs* files are created, but no echomail is found/send on
it's merry way).

I can "force" DB to send netmail written in RA by using MBUTIL and extracting
the *.MSG mail file from RA's netmail area and putting it into DB's Netmail
directory.

I also find, if I set DB's directory path for netmail storage to be QuickBBS
(area 100, which it is in RA) instead of Fido, I can no longer access netmail
within DB (if I try, DB hangs with a perpetual "wait...").
But if I leave it as Fido, I can acces netmail within DB just nothing gets
injected into RA's netmail.

Has anyone else who runs/ran RA and DB ever seen something like this?
I hope that all made sense. lol

I'd also like to say thanks Nto ick for all your help and suggestions!
Learning lots! :)

Cheers
everyone.
Take care
