Yes, I posted a test I did with Bj%rn whereas an inbound pkt on my end from
Janis was tossed, sbbsecho extracted 7 mgs, caught two dupes by MSGID and
removed them, created a pkt for Bj%rn and sent it along.

I then had Bj%rn look at his logs and see how many messages were sent to him in
that pkt and his llogs showed onlt the good 5 messages.

I can set that # to 99999 if I want which means it will store info for 99,999
msg.  Is that not old enough for you?

Well, as per Bj%rn, my version of sbbsecho is not passing them to him if
they're seen in my system.  My test proved that.

Enjoy....
