Yes I know that you running MBSE BBS on a test system and as I have knowing fro 
the INN workers is the version of INN I have had it worked on (fidogate worked 
fine with INN) not changed so uch as some small bugs in inn have been corrected 
to work better with. I am getting a email list updates from the innworkers 
lists system of all errors and bugs and when there is fixed thing in inn.

It look like it Fidogate there not like to do the inpacking and outpack 
function of gating and just hang by gate the news on to the next step to run 
like runtoss outpkt and runtoss outpkt/mail etc. runin runtoss runout etc. and 
but send-fidogate have now problem.

I will thing it is v4.4.11 or .10

 JC>   Sorry, Gert, it's not clear to me where you're seeing the problem... 

 JC>"transport/export" is failing ?

It is either when fidogate is on to unpack mail and gate it from news to mail 
packs as pkt files, or it is already when it trying to read the newsgroups and 
it not come on to next command.

Fidogat should could read the news group as the news database and directories 
not is been changed or it base structure not have been changed since it was 
worked fine.
