Hello Oli!

 MH>> True. Try to keep your outbound clear and always use the same
 MH>> address to poll a system. If you have automated polls to the same
 MH>> system, but it's othernet address, don's poll it in the same
 MH>> minute.

 MH>> That said, polling the same system to get othernet's mail makes
 MH>> no sense at all because the othernet's stuff will be transmitted
 MH>> during your fidonet poll.

 MH>> Therefore: Use a singe address to initiate polls and the problem
 MH>> will go away. Inspect your outbound and see what's causing the
 MH>> calls.

 Ol> This is not how BSO is supposed to work. The tosser creates flow files

Oehm, i think BSO is exactly supposed to work like that. Only true within
a single network, of course. Rule of thumb is: Only one outgoing file per
destination system within the same network ... or at least all of them
addressed to the same nodenumber - WITHIN the same network.
