I've wrote a program that integrates with the smtpd32.acc file. Scott is right though that their is some 'standard' format to the beginning and to the end of the file. What I've been able to discover is that the static contents of the file, before any addition of data, seems to be consistent with the other *.acc files. The data at the end of the file I would think needs to remain constant probably as an end of file marker to the calling routine within IMail. The static data at the beginning of the file is a mystery to me. I originally thought it was necessary for the calling function within imail to work correctly - and it still might be. Digging a little deeper I suspect maybe it was being used as a pointer to how many records are maintained in the file. It could also just be that "satic" data for the imail program to work correctly.
If someone could send me their smtpd32.acc file I could better compare the files to ascertain if they are similar or dissimilar. ~Rick R.
