• Problems creating netmail

    Hello Everyone,ããI started having an issue with netmail being created, for some reason when it is sent now it is not.ããI am used to seeing *.msg files created in /sbbs/fido/netmail but when I send netmail nothing is showing up and sbbsecho is not processing anything for binkd to send out. After the netmail is sent the fidoout.now flag is set and sbbsecho runs just fine...it just never find anything. ããI thought it may be deleting the files so I temporarily disabled the event from running and noticed there are no files being created at all when netmail is sent.ããFile permissions are good and everything looks alright in SCFG. ããDoes anyone know why these may have stopped being created? ããThanks a bunch in advance! I am stumped!ããBest Regards,ããChrisãã---ã þ Synchronet þ The Horizon bbs - bbs.horizonbbs.orgã

Years ago now, Synchronet started storing outbound FidoNet netmails in the mail base (data/mail.*) and SBBSecho is used to export those to .msg and packets.ãã > and sbbsecho is not processing anythingã > for binkd to send out.

I am stumped!ããYou need SBBSecho to get the FidoNet netmail out of the mail base and into .msg files (and packets), so closer inspection of the log output from SBBSecho will likely inform as to why that isn't happening.ã-- ã digital man (rob)ããSynchronet "Real Fact" #102:ãAlternate and loadable font support was added to Synchronet in February 2018ãNorco, CA WX: 91.3øF, 48.0% humidity, 8 mph SW wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
