Could it be that you have filled the domainnames and you use the
outbounddir's outbound.xxx instead of domain.xxx? In that case you could look
if he has created the flo files in the outbound domain.xxx. There is a little
thing that you should not fill the domainnames if you use a binkley outbound
with only outbound.xxx directory's.

assistant: I decided I should start updating Adept as I'm setting it up.  Last Saturday
(7/19 or so) I grab'd the 2.23 update.  Unzip'd it in the Adept sub dir no
problem..  Was working on getting the mail to toss & finally stumbled on the
right files to configure..
Well, Fri night (7/25) I tried to log in to check if the messages got toss'd
right & everytime I hit ESC to log in, the node would ask for my name & after
I enter'd it I would get a 'session encounter'd a problem' SYS3175 (access
violation) & close Adept totally..  :{
Just before, I grab'd the 2.33 update hopeing there was a bug in 2.23 but no
dice..  :{
I did delete my Line_x_config files (both) and ran what I thought I should in
the setup for the nodes..  I also ran the converti.exe program & it found me
(the only user at the moment)..
Well, I was able to log in local, Adept did find 1 message address'd to me
(found it quickly I may add), let me read it no problem.  After reading it, I
hit enter to continue & promptly got log'd off..  :{
Same thing when I tried again..
Trying to dial in gave me the same results.
Dialing in as a new user brought back the SYS3175 error..  :{
Any ideas??
Also, I dont seem to have a colors.ctl file.  I dont seem to have any color
named file.  The doc's seem to indicate there is a sample, but I couldnt find
it either.  Could someone post there file (if its small) or can I freq it
from someone so I can see whats in it??
