i don't know how bbbs logs or if you are on *nix but i have increased my syslo >retention so i could have time to go back and hunt down anomalies days or week
later...
tldr; do the logs indicate why that file was left behind and the processing didn't complete properly?

I am running slackware and I haven't deleted any logs yet (it's a new install). I will add the logs to logrotate at some point. I usually keep
days of logs.
BBBS writes classic logs. Mailer sessions are logged in each nodes log
and utilities like bogus (the tosser/scanner) log to log0.

processing didn't complete properly?
No, the log0 just logs one line like this..

Not that I have seen. I'm looking at all this now so I'll have a closer look a
the logs too.
So far it looks like using the gotmail.bz script is not going to work for me s
I will need to find another way to toss mail. Maybe I'll run a cron job periodically.
Here's the content of mailout.sh:
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/bbbs
./bbbs bogus r > /dev/null 2>&1
exit
Hope this helps :)
I'm having a problem tossing mail. Sometimes when I run "./bbbs bogus w" I see..

In fact bbsrun.c does exist along with serveral 0 byte .tmp files in the work
directory. I need to delete it to continue tossing incoming mail until the nex
time I get the above.
