It's been a very long time since I tinkered with different options, fastecho
has inbuilt routing and it can also work from a config file, route.fe which it
can export or you can create your own (hang on):...

5.6.5 - Export ROUTE.FE
        ---------------

    It may be helpful to export this ROUTE file in case you wish to  use
the automatic FastEcho  packer/router. As we  shall see later,  FastEcho
has an high performance NetMail packer/router built in, that can be used
in two ways:

    'FASTECHO PACK <address,address,...> via <address>'

    or, better, through the

    'FASTECHO PACK -F<route file>'

    (We shall see its  exact use in the  proper paragraph ). The  <route
 file> parameters could  be replaced  with the  file-name containing
the routing statements for every node configured in your node manager  (see:
5.5.1.24.2) that may be created by means of this export function.


 6.4 -  FastEcho Pack
        -------------

     FastEcho has  a  built-in, high  performance  NetMail-packer/router
 that can be called by invoking FastEcho with the Pack main switch.  But
 what does  the  NetMail-packer/router  really do?  It  will  bring  the
 NetMail messages contained in the primary NetMail directory,  archiving
 them in an ARCmail bundle, having, like the ones containing  EchoMails,
 its ARCmail attach addressed (routed) to the system that fits your rou-
 ting directives.  The FastEcho  router  normally involves  any  NetMail
 message without priority attributes (Crash, Direct, Immediate, File/At-
 tach, File/Request and  so on.  See in appendix  C for  a complete  at-
 tributeslist) but, if  the netmail having  the aforesaid high  priority
 attributes has  the  InTransit (non-local)flag  too,  then it  will  be
 packed anyway. When "FastEcho Pack" is invoked without special  routing
 statements, by default, it automatically takes, from your configuration
 setup, the default routing that  you specified in "Node Manager"  (see:
 5.5.1.24.2 - F2-Routing), otherwise it will strictly  follow your  more
 detailed routing  statements  that  you may  directly  specify  on  the
 "FastEcho pack"    command  line or,  moreover,  specifyed  inside  the
 special route file (ROUTE.FE). There will  be more details in the  fol-
 lowing chapters.

 6.4.1 - Routing (commandline) Statements

     This  is the first advanced methods, to perform the NetMail packing
 routing, provided by FastEcho (I remind you that the standard method is
 the normal "FastEcho pack" without any additional parameter). The  syn-
 tax of this first advanced method is the following:

              FastEcho PACK <addr> <addr> <...> via <ADDR>

     As you can see,  this syntax is subdivided  in two main parts:  The
 standard "FastEcho PACK" commands followed by a set of addresses  (cal-
 led "involved NetMail addresses" set) and a single address that follows
 the "Via" statement (called "target address"). The purpose of this syn-
 tax is to allow FastEcho to  gather, in one single ARCmail bundle,  all
 the unsent  NetMail  messages located  in  the "Primary  NetMail  Area"
 which are addressed to  any of the systems  specified in the  "involved
 NetMail addresses" and preparing them to  be sent to the system  speci-
 fied in the "target address".

You will need to configure Fastecho so it knows what outbound
type you are using, Argus (and clines) use the Binkley Style
Outbound so you will configure it as Binkley <grin>!

5.4.3 - Miscellaneous
        -------------

    In the  Miscellaneous  section, FastEcho  expects  your  preference
about four items. It wants to know what mailer and what BBS system  you
are using, what swapping technique you want to use and if you want  the
external program called from FastEcho to output their data. Look at the
screen below:

    Highlighting the proper item by means  of the arrows key, you  have
the possibility to toggle along several choices simply by pressing  the
"return" key.

5.4.3.1 - Mailer

    FastEcho needs to know what mailer you're using in order to set the
proper method to handle the Inbound/outbound mail bundles. In the  mai-
ler item you  can select the  following mailers: FrontDoor,  Intermail,
D'bridge, Binkley/Xenia, Portal of Power  and McMail. In this  tutorial
we assume  FrontDoor as  mailer, so,  strike return  until  "FrontDoor"
appears in the "mailer"  field. Later, you will  select the one  you're
using.

From memory, fastecho can only be run registered??? Hopefully someone can
verify/correct me on that?
