Yes, his username on the BBS is "Erich B." and that is who the netmail is addressed to.

 DM> Examine your mail base with the ;mail sysop command or the 'smbutil'.

I have tried both, but I see no email from Erich B.

That could be what it is. I wonder if the short last name ending in B. is causing the trouble?

 Ttyl :-),
