Hello g00r00!

Thank you for your reply!

What is a global group? I do have one message area whose List ACS is "any of the Echomail Groups", but that's about it. =)

Anyway, I was standing in FSX_ADS and launching the N G scan:

Group....: fsxNet
Area.....: FSX_ADS: BBS and NETwork Ads
Command (9780 minutes left) -> N



Then it began scanning; the last area (among those to be scanned as per the new scan settings) was:

Scanning FIDOTEST: FidoNet TEST echo and malfunction conference...

And that one is not part of the fsxNet group. =)

My message base configurations look like this:












































fsxNet is Message Group 2 (g2) and Echomail Group 1 (g1).
FidoNet is Message Group 3 (g3) and Echomail Group 2 (g2).
My user account has s255 (could that affect things?).

Other than that, my Message Settings look like this:


















I've also double-checked the G action in the mnewscan menu and it looks OK:























...i.e. it does not have /G in the data field.

Can you spot anything strange among those settings?

Many thanks in advance!

Best regards
