Sounds like the workaround is working.

It may not be perfect but that's a feature of a workaround, isn't it? ;-)

Oh no. We missed your target question completely:

You never reported a problem on your side.
You just wanted to know if that's fine.

Yes it is. The filebox design wasn't build to handle mail.

It's a throw anything in and if the destination is coming around then hand it over.

If you have to many packed bundles in your filebox then your tossing frequence may be too high. Give it a try, turn on the packer again, stop tossing for 24 hours and start it again, then look for the files in your filebox.

Kai
