• issues sending mail via sub['mail'], debugging info requested

    From Khelair@VERT/TINFOIL to All on Fri Dec 19 18:47:42 2014
    Okay, so as per echicken (I believe it was, my apologies if I'm wrong here),ãI got the following debugging information on why my mail to the sysop (andãpresumably anyone else, though I haven't tried implementing that yet) isn'tãworking. He specifically requested a dump of the message header. Here's whatãI'm putting into that object, and a brief explanation of how some are arrivedãat:ããmHdr values:ãfrom : Khelair (from user.alias)ãto : Khelair (selected by code at this point from sysop.alias)ãsubject : 'dDOC Posting' (using a static subject for all messages at thisã point in my code version)ãã As I mentioned before, I get success from the attempt to save the messageãwith the body as the second argument to dMB.save_msg(), with mHdr as above asãthe first argument. It never shows up in a personal mailbox, though; I canãonly access it if I go into 'all system mail' as a sysop.ã This led me to a little bit more looking into the logging on the console,ãsince I've got things debugging output there now. When these messages areãbeing saved, messages are turning up in the log as such:ã12/19 18:39:55 term Node 1 Khelair running external program: Damo'sãvDOC/Citadel Shellã12/19 18:40:14 mail 0000 SEND last_msg=400, smb.status.last_msg=401, elapsed=50ãã aaaand I'm seeing other ones sitting in the queue there, too, presumably fromãother messages I've tried to save to the base using code 'mail'. I'm going toãcheck and see if I can manually override anything that might be forcing itsãprocessing as a form of NetMail, but any tips are greatly appreciated, still,ãas well.ã TIAãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Tinfoil Tetrahedron BBS telnet://tinfoil.synchro.netã

Thank you sir. Would've mentionedãit sooner, but the gods of OBSD threw many lightning bolts my way.ãã DM> I don't see anything suggesting that the message is being processed asã DM> NetMail.ãã Yeah I'm not quite remembering exactly what the message was that was makingãme think that... I haven't started on my new shell's testing since I've gottenãthings back up yet, but if this behavior repeats again I'll try to get a littleãbetter log of it. I'm pretty sure the to_ext header being defined will keepãthat from creeping up at all any more now, though.ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Tinfoil Tetrahedron BBS telnet://tinfoil.synchro.netã
