(config.gate: Address == Uplink).
* If the KillXXXX options are not specified, ftntoss will put bad
messages into packets in SPOOLDIR/toss/bad.
* File attach processing: option -F must be used with ftnpack.
* Dupe check: ftntoss now uses a MSGID history database if enabled.
* Tons of new config options! See examples/orodruin/... and
examples/morannon/...
======================================================================
Warning: configuration changed a lot since release 3.9.7, so using an
old configuration without any changes for release 4 will cause
problems.
In particular, Roland's fgpack script (see doc/Fido-Point-HOWTO) does
*NOT* work with the release 4 ftnpack!!!
======================================================================
