I can see in one of your others mails you have get it to work by removing
the /h switch and thats right. The /h switch specify the ftools to only do
maintenance on Hudson areas!! If you have used the /j switch (as another
writer says he did), so you have do maintenance on Jam areas only.

In the Fmail.doc file Folkert say, that in most cases the string:

FTOOLS MAINT /D /P /R /N /O

works very well, but because you use OT/Track to your netmail areas, so you
don't have to use the /N switch. Place the rest of the switches in your
batch-files, so you get a full maintenance of both your Hudson and Jam
areas.

 MVDV> I use OT/Track for netmail.

Thats a good program. I have used it before when I have 6-7 networks
running, but now I only use Ftools with the /N switch.
