    Replying to a post in FSX_GEN about Mystic

    On 11/27/16, Tony pondered and said...

    I have a problem with the others networks. All files coming from thme going in badfiles dir. I copied and modified the same .ini file that I
    use for FSX and it works fine, but with other nets (fido and linuxnet) goes on badfiles. Looking in the .TIC files the password is correct but muti log complain with: rocess: Toss FDN/TIC Files

    But again the passwd is correct.

    Any idea Guys?

    Hi Tony.

    The first thing I would do would be to simplify the password being used
    between you and the system sending you these files/.tic's

    When we looked at the Fidonet example it was a really long and complex
    password - did you end up asking the sending system to adjust that?

    I can't be sure but if the password in the .tic that is currently being moved to the bad file dir matches the .tic password set against the echonode
    sending your BBS the files... then I am suspicious of the length or
    complexity of the password being a possible contributing factor.

    You could always try to manually edit one of the .tics and substitute in a simple password that matches a simple one you also updated in the relevant echonode and just see if that tosses... worth a go.

    Note the above line. If you want Mystic to run a dupe database your must

    1) Set up a 'Local' type of message base
    2) Note it's index number
    3) Add that index number to the relevant config line in the importing
    echomail stanza in your .ini file

    Best, Paul

    Hi Paul,
    thanks for your message

    Yeah we adjust it to the same we use Paul.

    I'll try to fix the dupe as well and keep you posted.

    Thanks
