Probably :-)

But it can also occur if you use 'RobotsArea' in your config.

I was using this in my config:

   set basedir=/var/spool/ftn/
   set msgbase=[basedir]msgBase/

   Robot      default
   RobotsArea botmail
   Robot      Filefix
   HelpFile   [basedir]misc/filefix.txt

   NetmailArea NetmailArea [msgbase]AcoNetmail -d "Netmail berichten"
   NetmailArea botmail     [msgbase]botmail    -d "Netmail aan *fix robots"

which passed 'tparser' without problems, but I couldn't get Filefix to respond to messages I addressed to it, logging over and over again:

   Start filefix scan...
   Scanning 0 messages of botmail
   End

Seeing this thread, I've started some experimenting wrt. to Filefix.
Now I've changed my config to:

   # RobotsArea botmail
   # NetmailArea botmail [msgbase]botmail -d "Netmail aan *fix robots"

(so it's using the defined NetmailArea) and suddenly I got tens of netmails with it's responses to the earlier messages, logging:

   Start filefix scan...
   Scanning 137 messages of NetmailArea
   FileFix: request from 77:8500/100.1
   FileFix: List sent to 77:8500/100.1
   FileFix: HELP sent to Coast.1
   Wrote Netmail to: 77:8500/100.1
   FileFix: successfully done for 77:8500/100.1
   ...
   End

So, thanks for asking! :-)

Greetings,
Simon.
