I use this feed, it seems pretty solid to me. He seem to have access to a large number of them and can autorequest more if you areafix them. Be wary though.. linking your msg bases can take a while if you go high capacity. I did unlimited on a couple and basically got mail bombed. Took forever to link them all. bogged me down to a crawl... However. I gotta say, a credit to nick for having the capacity to handle it. I doubt he would suggest getting yourself in that position for eveyones sake lol.

What does this actually do? I realized that they are just set up as normal echomail bases here. they seem to work, I've posted without issue. I don't see anything in the docs about it yet ;)
