Right, it DOESN'T make sense. I don't understand it. It worked when I firrst
set up my echomail areas like months (maybe over a year ago). But I haven't
sent a netmail in awhile. I haven't had a need. I WAS talking to a fellow sysop
via netmail, and they just stopped. I thought maybe he was just done talking!

I've double and triple checked my settings, and everything looks good on my
end. I seem to be having the problem in two different networks, on two
different BBS programs (Synchronet and Enigma). (the 2 networks are FidoNet and
FSXNet). although I have been having issues with netmail in Enigma before. it
is still a Alpha program, but Synchronet. I've followed the instructions to a
tee, and I'm STILL stumped.
