   You should note that in the beginning, there wasn't even anything called
echomail.

   Now there is, and the concept of pass-thru is well documented and everyone
worth his or her salt knows about it and how to use it.

   So, once again: only the retards that still use their intermediate BBS
message base, are causing those occurring mail bombs. Those of us using proper
pass-thru FTN systems does not. DUH!

   And yes, for historical reasons I still have a lot of R20 echoes stored in
the ancient MSG format. They are possible to rescan, and has been from time to
time. That mail bomb will only concern those that has not been added to the
S-Bs after the last rescan, so I have a pretty good control of it. S-Bs has
*not* been tampered with, as opposed to messages imported to my BBS message
base (a BTrieve data base).
