Good evening Misko, It seems that your mail issues have not "gone away"?<BR>
I also see Barry's response that I can add nothing to.<BR>
I have a documentation topic, not a direct answer.<BR>
It is more exploratory...<BR>

I am preparing to live aboard a boat for 3 to 5 years, this feature is a wonderful tool.<BR>
Allow me to suggest that mail greater than <size> should in fact be received but not forwarded.<BR>
This permits small mail to be retrieved on board at HF speeds sooner, and large at VHF/UHF (Internet) speeds later.<BR>
If the old mail has mold on it - I'm OK with that...<BR>
<BR>
Of course that presupposes I can perhaps change a remote forwarding partner configuration and he has large mail storage available...

Now for the documentation:<BR>
I have interest in how you configure for the features you want, remember "show & tell" in early schools?<BR>
To the purpose of passing on wisdom for jnos2, I created a wiki for our community / it does not compete with [nos-bbs] or any developer or any version of nos.<BR>
<BR>
As an experiment, I extracted your Feb 27 mail with attachment to place in the ConfigHFile page because it added to the knowledge of that file for your circumstances. I did it without your permission thus I will immediately undo my experiment if you desire. To me, your example seemed to fit... You may inspect it any time to draw your conclusions.<BR>
<BR>
To the point of this mail of yours, you may feel it needed to modify your work I have used after you complete your objectives. At any time if you do, please feel free to edit it directly yourself (or send me update). I welcome your future learning if you want to share it.<BR>
<BR>
Good luck with your mail forwarding and other configuration choices.<BR>
I hope you find my experiment OK with yourself.<BR>
Thanks!
