if you noticed, there were two different origins in those two TIC files ;) the second one did not traverse through your system... it may have been a one time thing, though...

yep...

nope... they either sit in my inbound or they get tossed into the file area depending on if the TIC carries a REPLACES line or if i have the area set to always replace...

it should also be noted that the software i'm using now is no where near allfix in capabilities... there is no concept of feed links or up/down links and no way to restrict who can send or receive... if a file arrives here from a linked system, any linked system, it is sent out to all other linked systems not already listed in the seenby lines once the file is processed...

 VC> Of course it does help if that ARE the same name.

yep :)

ok...

 VC> Daily updates we do not need.

agreed...
