It was FConfigW32, apologies for the typo.. but seeing as though I
mentioned that it crashed as soon as I added "256" to the Max
exports setting, I would think it would be kinda self explanatory, even
with a typo. ;)

Didn't want to leave anything out!

According to my node manager, my one link is setup for no compression. So
either that isn't working as expected, or it's causing an error when
creating a .pkt. If you would like to add some more extensive debug code at
that point, I can retry over here to give you some more information.

Ok.

Ok.

Hope it helps!

FYI, the toss parameter seems to work just fine. I have it setup in binkd
to do so upon receipt, and it hasn't had an issue yet.

So far, two issues:

1) Confirmed as I just did it again to make sure: Setting max imports to
256 crashes when trying to save changes and exit. Once this is done, you
can not execute FConfigW32.exe without it crashing right away on startup.
.cfg file must be deleted in order for it to work again.

2) fmail scan leaves .qqq in outbound directory and doesn't change it
during following runs.

Regards,
Nick
