 Thanks.. I downloaded it, had to modify it a bit (no I do not have perl knowledge)
 and I have asked some people to test it.
 the pingpong.pm is working but the only side effect is that the orig mail is sent to the
 badmail area. No idea now to fix that, so I give your script a chance to see if it works

 As longs as some people, who test and are already years in fidonet, are happy I am happy
 After a hiatus of some 24/25 years I am back ;)
 many things to get used to again ;)

 If I can get it running I can make modification where needed if needed ;)

 Thanks for sharing !
