    I think I see part of the problem on my sbbsecho issue. Looks like everytime a game packet sends out the outbound folder gets deleted. Has anyone seen this before? I have never seen the outbound folder just disappear.

    Neither SBBSecho nor BinkIT delete directories of any kind at any time.

    some BSO mailers have this as an option... they will remove the empty outbounds... you can turn it off in most cases so they'll leave them alone... it may result in your BSO being ""cluttered"" with .pnt directories created by systems connecting that are advertising point addresses, though... it isn't that big a deal... i have my mailers set to leave the BSO directories alone which makes the tosser slightly faster since it doesn't have to create the directories each time...

    Yeah. I don't think its either of those two doing it. No idea why things started acting strange after all these years.

    That would make sense except there is no setting like that in argus that I know of. The problem started when I moved the mailers directories to
    \sbbs\fido\ instead of sbbs\argus where it was originally. It appears argus did not like having a full path and wants the subdirectories under it instead of someplace else. so once I moved them back it was fine.
