He means you need to try playing with the QWK settings on this end.  If you
log onto the bbs using your QWK account... log on via telnet and not ftp...
you will receive a prompt.  If you type '?', it will display the QWK menu.

Check the (C)onfiguration options.  There may be one that is set No (or Yes)
that is causing the packets to be incompatable with RA.  You may have to
play with them some to get a configuration that works.

Here are the settings that work with a GT Power board, so I won't guarantee
that they work with RA but you can try them.

[A] Ctrl-A Color Codes           : Expand to ANSI
[T] Archive Type                 : ZIP
[E] Include E-mail Messages      : Un-read Only
[I] Include File Attachments     : Yes
[D] Delete  E-mail Automatically : Yes
[F] Include New Files List       : No
[N] Include Index Files          : Yes
[C] Include Control Files        : Yes
[V] Include VOTING.DAT File      : No
[H] Include HEADERS.DAT File     : No
[Y] Include Messages from You    : No
[Z] Include Time Zone (@TZ)      : Yes
[P] Include Message Path (@VIA)  : No
[M] Include Message/Reply IDs    : No
[U] Include UTF-8 Characters     : No
[X] Extended (QWKE) Packet Format: No

You may also want to check your QWK network software documentation and see if
it mentions needing/not needing Index, Control, or HEADERS.DAT files, or if
it supports QWKE (it probably does not!).  Then make any changes to your
configuration settings based on what the documentation tells you (if
anything).
