Hi! Bill,

In a message to Mark Lewis you wrote:

If there ain't no ?LO files then Argus won't even be aware that there's mail
to go.  It sounds like VFIDO isn't doing the whole job...

 ml>>  is argus is a pure BSO mailer...

Yes, but there's another way of doing business.  Use a 'file-box' for each
link.  Create some now... I use a path like "[drive]:\fileboxs\o
tbound\point_1".  You could have a whole swag of other outbound file boxes,
one for each link.  They also work for BinkD; it likes file boxes just as much
as Argus does.

Use Config/File-Boxes dialogue box (Ctrl+B) to set up file-boxes for each node
that you exchange mail & files with, even local to your D'Bridge system.  I've
got 'em everywhere here, organised into a *Stargate* system between my main
node, a point system and two virtual nodes.

File boxes are most excellent to deal with.  Just drop files (mail) into them
and off they go!  Whoosh!  White man's magic!  Any files can even be junk;
they work for everything and anything.

Most important: Do _not_ ever set a file box for your zone's outbound
directory, or any other outbound directory for that matter.  Not ever.

Cheers,
Paul.
