I do run QBBS. 

I do not like it because RemoteAccess is better.

I want to check it for myself.

 KR> If you do routing it does not match. That's the purpose of routing.

If I use an area manager and have downlinks subscribed to different echoes, I
want to be able to check that the scanner is packing mail correctly for each
downlink (ie. downlinks are only receiving messages from subscribed echoes). A
packet inspector makes it easy to monitor the files in outbound.

Those files definitely have something to do with routing.

In BSO-style outbound the file names and extensions control when and where the
mailer sends files. When there are 50 files in outbound, a packet inspector
makes it easy to check the intended routing.

 KR> Golded can't do this. Golded is a user editor that is in use after or

Yes. This question was previously answered. But you insist on assuming there
is no use to inspecting packets - which is wrong.
