I started a small qwk network, and since, his board started to send and download reply packets the messages on my side are disappearing. I have googled, and went through the documentation, and can't come up with a solution.
I have looked through my scfg setup and do not see a reason why they would be removed every day. After a week of trying to figure out how to fix it, I decided, I would see if anyone knew what could be causing this.

...Several excuses are always less convincing than one.

Are you running message base maitenance daily? Do you have a "Maximum Message" or "Purge by Age" set for the sub-boards in SCFG?

Screen shots from SCFG or "smbutil s data/subs/<subcode>" would be useful to help determine possible cause.
