Yes! That is what is happening. I just wrote a message and 4 or 5 seconds after
I saved it, Synchronet's log showed that it was running the FIDOOUT event.

FIDOOUT
Nov 18 10:20:07 xxxx synchronet: evnt Running native timed event: FIDOOUT
Nov 18 10:20:13 xxxxsynchronet: evnt Timed event: FIDOOUT returned 0

It looks like the semaphore was created when the message was saved. That's what
I want to change. If I want to edit or delete a message I've just written, I
can't because it has already been scanned out and sent. That's not good.

ML> i'm suspecting that she is wanting to run the event only at logoff to give
ML> users the time toedit or delete posts they have written... it kinda sucks
ML> when you go to edit or delete a post and find that it has alreadybeen

Exactly! ;)
