Hello Jay!

 Thanks.. I downloaded it, had to modify it a bit (no I do not have perl knowledge)
 and I have asked some people to test it.
 the pingpong.pm is working but the only side effect is that the orig mail is sent to the
 badmail area. No idea now to fix that, so I give your script a chance to see if it works

 JH> This one accepts ping messages addressed in either case (e.g: Ping,
 JH> ping, PING or even PiNg) and kills the original incoming message once
 JH> processed.  It also handles the kludges a bit differently.

 As longs as some test people who are already years in fidonet are happy I am happy
 After a hiatus of some 24/25 years I am back ;)

 JH> I'm not a programmer or anything, so this may not be the best or even

 If I can get it running I can make modification where needed if needed ;)

 Thanks for sharing !

Dennis
