Hi Nicholas,

On 2016-12-22 09:36:40, you wrote to me:

Would it be possible, so we can check this?

Anything is possible...

 WvV>> uneven number. And he is using dupechk.

We can't rule that out, if dupechk turns out to be ok.

It shouldn't be. Intransit echomail doesn't need to be stored in an
intermediate format. Just held in memory untill it's packed again to the
outbound.

 WvV>> Btw: This message will have an uneven number in the header when it

 NB> No backups, but this message was also stored here with even seconds. I'm

Yes.

Bye, Wilfred.
