I know right!

My inbound Netmail is working fine. Outbound is a mess. Won't unpack on the otherside.. ? do you use Linux Version Sync or Windows?
Add me to yahoo if you think you can help fix this.

when i was on fidonet, i used the windows version and argus as a mailer.
when i was on zeronet and other msg networks, i used irex.

SBBSecho creates the .cut file for netmail, which your mailer should automatically rename to .pkt upon sending to your uplink. This is pretty normal operation. The fact that you're getting a packet type error is most likely the problem here. Did you change anything in your Fidonet networking settings in SCFG? Also, check to make sure your settings in ECHOCFG are correct as well. Most of the time the default settings will work and are usually better than anything people change those settings to when they have
no idea what they're changing.

Something is seriously wrong on your end, to be getting packet type errors when sending from one Synchronet system to another Synchronet system. I mean REALLY wrong. :)

Regards,
Nick
