Just to add to this, if there's a newsgroup say misc.test and it's sent with an echomail tag of MISC.TEST then what was happening was Errol's system would reply but use an echomail tag like MISCTEST  ... so not the correct echomail tag... so it's just showing him how to ensure his system sends the correct echomail tags back... as I'm not a Synchronet sysop I'm not much help I'm sorry.
