Nah, to become a good sysop you'll have to figure it out yourself.
Just kidding ;-)

Note that I never used the FreePoint packet nor any other of the CDPoint
mechanisms, I just provided the FMadd utility, so what follows is based on
mere assumptions and by no means an ultimative guideline. The first problem
you'll encounter is that you're using the Argus mailer, which apparently
isn't explicitly supported by the FreePoint package. I don't know if it's
similar enough to one of the other mailers so that you could use one of the
existing utilities to write it's configuration. If not, you'd have to
develop one, or find someone who does.

I suggest to

read freepnt.doc
unpack the example archive cdpnodei.zip somewhere, and there
read cdp_node.txt
read frq/readme.txt
pick a sample configuration from a frq/* directory
read cfg/readme.txt
pick the sample configuration from cfg/tm_fe_fs (probably)

and try things out. And yes, you'll need both, freepw32.exe and fmadd.exe
to make things work. After all, the freepw32.exe writes all the
configuration files the other tools do need. Feel free to ask again if
you're stuck, I can't promise a satisfying answer though.

regards
        Eike
