 AG> I've been having some problems with my echomail packets being sent from me

The old stone age packet format doesn't support points so you and your boss will want to stay away from those. I'd be surprised if that's the problem though. If you and your boss are generating 2+ packets, or 2e you should be OK.

You can grab a packet inspector at Vertrauen and it'll tell you about the packets that cause problems.
