I was keen on people being points to get their mail, not sending files!
You've done the exact opposite!  But it is true that once you become a
point to get your mail, then uploads become a manual process for me.  I
wonder what other sysops do for that?  I'll have to ask.

All files that come to me via the mailer go into the one spot, including
all my mail packets (private netmail etc), which admittedly gets processed
straight away.  Also, an entry won't exist in files.bbs.

It would be blind copies, of bad mail packets or anything.  BFN.
