So, I'm setting up Mystic on this computer, which will be replacing Synchronet as my main system. I've got a message network set up, and received netmail and echomail.

The problem I'm having, is when I run "mutil mailin", it will toss about 25 to 40 messages, and exit out with "Runtime error 216". I can't find that error listed anywhere in the docs. The only indication is from the log which states:

Jan 08 00:47:03 Shutdown Corrupted memory (216)

Is this an error with Mysic, or is there a problem with the computer? I'm not even utilizing half of my system memory.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'd say it's a corrupt message base file and not a windows thing. It has happened to others also that don't run windows.

What do your level 3 logs show when it cans out?

Ok, that makes me feel better. The message bases have all just been set up. It's a fresh install of Mystic...

Does Mystic have a way of fixing these message bases, or should I delete them, and start over?

I did just notice that every time is errors out, it had just found a duplicate message. Here's a clip from the mutil.log

+ Jan 08 00:56:04 Import #5476 to AGN_ADS
+ Jan 08 00:56:04 Import #5477 to AGN_ADS
! Jan 08 00:56:04 Duplicate message found in AGN_ADS
+ Jan 08 00:56:04 Shutdown Corrupted memory (216)

Every time it errored, it had just reported a duplicate.

It would be illogical to assume that all conditions remain stable.

Nevermind. I found out where the problem was. I had my mailin.ini set to save the dupe messages into a message base. I commented that line out, and reran the mailin process, and it worked just fine. There must have been a problem in trying to save the message to the bad message area. I'll have to look into it.

Thanks, Paul.

Make sure you have the dupe base set up as a 'local' type :)
