Hello Michiel!

 So what.

 The *.req file is a later addition as a method to request files. It is
 independent from the mailers on both sides. Some developers have included
 direct processing of *.req files during the mail session, it is not a
requirement.

 If you don't study the past you will make the same mistakes over and again.
 With your statement, you break protocols deliberatly out of deliberate
 ignorance.

 It should alway be direct, routed file request are not appreceated.

 MvdV>    .heq   =  hold

 You are building a system in a system, that is not sensible if you develop
 a general addon.

 MvdV> As it is, it is an illogical mix of both...

 You are illogically focussed on one mailer, how it should use a general
 addon.
