    You have the source code? Perhaps you could find out why those errors are being printed? Or send an example packet to the MultiMail developer(s) and see what they have to say about it.

    that certainly looks like multimail doesn't like your messages.dat file... what
    QWK options do you have set? did it ever work properly? when did the problem start?

    If disable voting.dat option the issue is gone.

    I found another weird issue at my qwk package.
    I detect that are areas with duplicate id at the control.dat file, is this correct?

    The areas of my "fidonet" group have same id's that Dovenet group.

    http://dpaste.com//0SS3YEA

    I see that my dovenet subboards have Qwk Conference number Static (with the number) and Storage Method are Self-packing
    All of rest of are dynamic and fast-allocation
    maybe these options are incorrect? and produce the duplicate areas at control.dat file?

    Thanks.-

    It looks to me like you chose "static" QWK conference number allocations in SCFG->Message Areas for one or more message groups. Normally, these should be set to "Dynamic":

    Yes, the "Static" option is for advanced use cases. The default is "Dynamic".

    update to dynamic!

    makes sense since multimail doesn't know about synchronet's voting mechanism :)
