Here's a top tip of you see netmails you think may be for you and you can't read them... check your MUTIL logs to see who it's for and if you see a misspell of your name add it to the remapping in your mailin.ini so netmails with the same error make it to you next time :)

No I have not seen anything, I just looked back about 30 days...

Can you send a test netmail again to 21:1/101 to Paul Hayton

I'll confirm if I see anything in the next 24 hours. Let me know when you
send it. It may pay to set MUTIL logging to level3 and check it's being exported and send via fidopoll logs also to your HUB

btw, what controls fidopoll's log size??

OK well nothing is making it here. Can you post your logging please :)

Fidopoll log size is not able to be set (yet) but when g00r00 enables the server logging options I think then that you will be able to control that.

Well this tells me it was not exported to any echomail node as it says 0 net

Is the base you posted in set as a netmail type?
Do you have Route Info in the fsxNet echomail node set to 21:*
What other echomail nodes do you have defined and active, what Route Info settings do they have?

I'd be happy to login to check your setup and help debug if you would like. Given netmail is not working feel free to email me at avon@bbs.nz if you
would like to work a time that suits :)

I question if you need to run this each time you export netmail / echomail.

Check in your ExportEchomail function you have the following set

[ExportEchoMail]

; Do not export messages from users currently online
skip_online = false

it should be logging each time it runs... and I'm presuming it runs as I am seeing your posts...

it is netmail type

Do you have Route Info in the fsxNet echomail node set to 21:*

I never put in any sort of route info for any network - thought it should always go direct.

Av> What other echomail nodes do you have defined and

I have fightonet, and retronet - neither have any route info defined, should they???

also, when I tried to do ./fidopoll 21:1/101 - it failed because of bad ip address 0.0.something.something (don't remeber the last two)

good

Do you have Route Info in the fsxNet echomail node set to 21:*

I never put in any sort of route info for any network - thought it should always go direct.

Well if you have the echonode you are writing a netmail to set up then yes it will else it will route via another echonode by looking at the route info
line in each defined echonode.

Av> What other echomail nodes do you have defined and
active, what Route Info Av> settings do they have?

I have fightonet, and retronet - neither have any route info defined, should they???

yes

In fido your route info should be 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:*

In retro do the same for it's zone number. where x = zone number it would be x:*

This says route all netmails that can't be delivered to a known/defined echomail node via 'this' echomail node is the rules in 'route info' match

so for your fido link it will send netmails addressed to any address in zones 1-4 via it

also, when I tried to do ./fidopoll 21:1/101 - it failed because of bad
ip address 0.0.something.something (don't remeber the last two)

Have you complied a nodelist using mergenodelists function in MUTIL? Do you
see a nodelist.txt file in your data dir? Fidopoll will look to that for info.

while typing this, I did another poll to you, and system says

In this case you are polling the wrong system as I run multiple mailers on different ports.

Your netmails should be routed to your fsxNet HUB which in your case is 21:2/100 so it's there that the Route Info 21:* should be defined :)

As per previous post, netmail is usually routed via your fsxNet HUB so it's normal that netmail sent to you from across fsxNet will come in/out to you
via the 21:2/100 HUB :)

yes, I now run flux as a point (sbbs) and Mike's Mansion as my main system (mystic)

btw, would you update the nodelist to use mansion.dynv6.net
dynv6 seems to have a problem updating 2 domains, so I have to use the
website to update.

Thanks
