Just a heads up Robert, there is a bot on your BBS posting this in the FSX_BOT area 5 or 6 times a minute!

Help!

Just a heads up Robert, there is a bot on your BBS posting this in the FSX_BOT
area 5 or 6 times a minute!

And they don't even have anything that happened this day in history!

I noticed that a while ago actually, he posts them all over the place
(though usually not this frequently) and they don't have any history
in them... they used to, but not anymore it seems.

Oh well.. it's a good workout for postie :P

I've added twit=21:2/136 to my mailin.ini for now, though I wish I could twit just one area, or at the very least have an easy way to clean up just those messages once it's corrected:

As a new BBS operator, is that "twit filter" the best option to try and keep the new BBS clean ;-) ?

Thank you!

It should probably be used sparingly in the mailin.ini as it stops messages from a person or node from being tossed at all.

Good for situations like this though where a message base grows from ~1000 messages to over well over 5000 overnight. In general it shouldn't really need to be used often or at all, and once Mr. Wolfe switches his bot to decaf I'll remove it.

that was a good idea to solve it in the short term... I've now delinked the node from that echo and netmailed Robert to let him know.

Awesome, thank you sir. I've removed that line from mailin.ini. :)

Yeah, going to have to remove that event from my networked message
bases as it seems something is wrong with something I have. Either
that or I will need to go into my CatPost code and add in some message
length code to split up messages.

Also it might be posting that because for some reason my VPS keep
shutting down and I am not sure why.

... Yeah, first you start stealing Taglines, and then....

Hi Robert,

Hope this finds you well.

Just checking did you get the netmail I sent you on this?

Best, Paul

This all started just around the time change so that might have had something to do with it but I'm not sure.

I'm not sure why that would happen but I hope you can get ahead of it.
