Hi Andrew,

On 2021-06-08 07:11:10, you wrote to me:

In FMail it's configurable:

Keep PING requests

         Keep a copy of PING request messages after processing. These
         are the received messages addressed to PING on your system.
         The copy is saved in the received netmail area.

         BTW: There is no option to keep TRACE requests, because
         they are in transit mails destined for other systems. They
         are forwarded to their destination without keeping a copy.

Keep PING responses

         Keep a copy of PING response messages after they are sent.
         The copy is saved in the sent netmail area.

Keep TRACE responses

         Keep a copy of TRACE response messages after they are sent.
         The copy is saved in the sent netmail area.


If I set them all to 'No', I get the same behaviour as in your situation.


Bye, Wilfred.
