:) I can't remember what the config program for FastEcho looks like. Instead
I had to go on what the .doc file says...

They are both, local and echomail, though they are of 'special' types known to
FE as either DUPE or BADMAIL.
p> I know they get filled up with echomail, but what are they?
Full of echomail, areas. The dupe area will contain _copies_ of echomail that
FE thinks are dupes of previously processed mail, depending on your
configuration choices. The BADMAIL area will contain copies of echomail tossed
as 'bad' for whatever reason(s). Note: the only real difference with the
BADMAIL area is that the problem(s) can be rectified and the mail re-tossed to
other areas.
Cheers,
Paul.
