  OK I fixed it (of sorts)  
    
  The import process I use each time I run a poll to the NNTP server generates  
  4 netmails per poll (an hourly thing). The Hudson base has a limit of around  
  606/607 messages so when that filled up I hit problems. That happened a long  
  time ago... in a galaxy.. well you get the idea :)  
    
  I checked the netmail dir I had defined and there were some 11,000+ *.MSG  
  files sitting there unable to be imported.  
    
  I found in the docs the hudson base was called #NETM in the docs so I ran  
    
  ftoolsw32 delete #NETM  
  ftoolsw32 maint /h /d /n /o /p  
    
  then I removed all the old *.msg files.  
    
  Now I can add the delete and maint switched to run as part of nightly maint  
  to keep the base clear. It's only ever (I hope) going to get netmail from  
  the  
  gateway tool that I use.  
    
  Do areafix netmail get stored there or are they just processed and removed?  
    
  Best, Paul
