Some where near the bottom of my imaginary to-do list, is the option to choose
'None' as bbs.

fmail.nod is the configuration file that contains the configured nodes. Is
there an import/export function for this file?

You told me in netmail you are trying to auto configuring 2000+ areas, with
probably a lot of messages you are trying to toss at once. That will fillup the
 bad message en dupe boards very quickly. So maybe it would work if you set
those to 'none'!

This is not a real error, because otherwise FMail would have quit right there.
There was some generic code that always printed this error when it couldn't
open any file. But this has already been removed in the current beta version...

Likewise.

I have to look into this, if FTools can do it's job when this file isn't
present. But as suggested by the other Paul you can probably create it with
golded...

No, the configured nodes are kept in a sorted by nodenumber order in the config
 file, so that shouldn't matter.

This isn't the complete log, isn't it?


Bye, Wilfred.
