why not have allfix post the announcements to a PKT and then import that
like any other echomail? generally this is done via a local inbound
directory where tools that post like this can put their PKTs... before the
age of secure and insecure inbounds, it was called a "secure"
directory because you knew which programs were allowed to write to them...
i don't know what they might be called today... i'm also not aware of
sbbsecho having such a directory... it might work just fine to point allfix
to your normal secure inbound unless sbbsecho will gripe about a PKT from
your address to your address... if it does, rob might be willing to add an
additional directory entry with slightly relaxes rules to sbbsecho and
echocfg...
