Just Joined FSXNet this week, everything appears to be working
correctly as far as Netmail and Echomail flow. The nodelist import / merge function however is a different story.
It appears that mutil creates duplicate entries every time it runs the import feature. I checked the INI file and I don't see any options
there that would be obvious options to clear out duplicates. Has this occured for anybody else in the past?

Welcome!
Not sure, I'm seeing a bunch of bases that have over 10,000 messages lately, but not really seeing dupes.
I'm seeing some dupes in the messages as well, but my main problem is
that the nodelist browser is pulling up duplicate entries for bbs's in
the nodelist. In mystic it is not possible to send a netmail if there
is a duplicate entry because you can't select a node to send the mail
too. I wanted to weed out all the duplicates and it seems that every
time mutil maint.ini runs (which is the name of the maint.ini file that
I put my nodelist import function in) it just imports the nodelist again and creates more dupes.

Delete nodelist.txt in your Data directory and then re-run the merge nodelist function to rebuild. If you're still having issues I can help. The again this message is several days old and I am reading sequentially through 100+ messages so you may have sussed your problem already.
Oh and Hi - welcome, nice to see you here :)
Best, Paul
I did that the other day, though I wasn't sure that would be the
solution so I oly renamed the file to see if it would negatively affect the system first. It doesn't seem that it is importing duplicates now
and the maint program is set to run daily and the nodelist files are
still in the directory. Any idea what causes this problem in the first place?
