Hello Kim,

Fortunately in this particular situation both systems are under my control. 
Heck, the 
PC's are sitting next to each other. :-)

In this case actual crash mail isn't necessary. All I have to do is tell BBBS 
to poll 
1:14/5 which is the primary AKA that Mystic presents and it will poll. And 
according 
to the logs complete the poll. Then immediately poll again, and again...

Yes, entering the "bbbs bom d 1:14/5" looks to stop the polling loop.

>Unfortunately BBBS doesn't log enough to see if it's case #2. Can you get

With Mystic there are several levels of logging which includes "Debug". I will 
increase
the log level and see what it can tell me and keep you posted.

I did also notice that this only happens when BBBS polls a Mystic system. If 
mystic 
polls BBBS no such polling loop occurs. As a temporary workaround I started 
having 
Mystic do the polling. Which I will change back for testing purposes.
