About Seal Again :-((, On Fri Oct 23 1998

GG> This is exactly what it does here, and on our net's NEC machine,
GG> flawlessly. (and for years.)

 GH> Seal *must* run on auto pilot, *I do not want to babysit it*.

GG> It does.  You call it when you get new inbound mail, and it'll do
GG> it's thing. 

 GH> Backup=No

GG> Yes.  Just for a safety copy, if nothing else.

Did that.

 GH> Tic=C:\BBS\TIC.CFG

GG> If you don't want it doing files, you don't need anything here. 

Did that

 GH> Alias=AREAFIX,AREAMGR,ECHOMGR,SQAEM

GG> Add "Fastecho" and "GEcho" in there, just
"because".  Remove
GG> "SQAEM", since it'll be pretty rare anyone will
"accidentally"
GG> address an areafix to that name.

Did as you suggested.

 GH> Alias=RAID,TIC,TICK,FILEMGR,ALLFIX

GG> Remove these if you don't want it dealing with files.

Done.

 GH> ; PROTECTED AREAS
 GH> ;
 GH> ; tag=type,level,locks

GG> Look at what it tells you on the layout of protected areas above,
GG> now look how you have them set up below:

 GH> [ProtectedAreas]
 GH> SHAREWARE_SUPPORT=Yes,  ;I moderate this echo
 GH> DIRTY_DOZEN=Yes,        ;I co-moderate this echo
 GH> ECHOLIST=Yes,           ;Successful Echo List updates
 GH> TERMINAT=Yes,           ;I am a beta-tester here.
 GH> VIRUS=Yes,              ;I am acting Moderator.
 GH> VIRUS_INFO=Yes,         ;I am acting Moderator.

Removed all of these.

I still get the following from Seal.log:

Note runtime error.  At this point Netmail area becomes corrupt.

Copies of messages sent and recieved.
But none are sent.

I will carry this on via Internet if you wish.  It is becoming obvious to
me that I need some tutoring on this.

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
