subject: BlueWave 4.01 for PcBoard

ÿ{at}SUBJECT:BlueWave 4.01 for PcBoard problems                          N
I'm hoping that someone can help me here.  I'm running PcBoard 15.23
with BlueWave v4.01 maildoor.

The problem is that BlueWave insists on adding an Origin: line to every
message that gets uploaded through it.  I carry three networks (all
using FTSC but only one is FidoNet).  So by the BlueWave door adding the
same origin (1:114/201) to every message is not good.  By trial and
error, I discovered that the BlueWave door is reading the ORIGINS.DAT
file that PcBoard maintains.  So I edited that file and added the
correct Origin: lines for the conference numbers (2-180 for one network,
181-250 for the second and so on).

But... BlueWave still appends 1:114/201 to each of those Origin: lines
so it's still hosed.  I wiped the BWMAIL.PRM file (configuration) and
started over and left the 1:114/201 out of the BlueWave door's
configuration (BlueWave left "0:0/0" as the node number).  Now BlueWave
appends that node number (0:0/0) to every Origin: line.  

To get around this, I changed the conference setting from 5 (FidoNet) to
4 (Usenet) which has stopped BlueWave from adding anything to the
uploaded messages.  But..  Now that each conference is flagged as
"Usenet", the To: field is no longer valid.

Has anyone ran into this problem? If so, is there a fix?  I'd like to
continue offering the BlueWave door as a QWK alternative but not lik
this.

Thanks!
