  • MysticBBS NetMail Adress found but not accepted

    From goto_KCM@21:1/218 to All on Mon Apr 5 11:54:16 2021
    Hello.

    When i try to write a netmail to a node, and type in the netmail adress like 2:31/310 (fidonet Vienna) then mystic shows me two found entries in the nodelist, but would allow me to send to that address.

    The address is shown in the two results, but every time i type it in, it do again a search instead of using that address.

    Can someone help?

    Regards
    Andreas

    What option are you using to call up the nodelist search tool?

    Are you posting to a netmail message base which involves

    1) saying the name you are sending 'to'
    2) entering the netmail address / looking it up by using a persons name


    .. or are you just using the nodelist browser option from the mystic message menu?

    If it's the latter this will only ever let you search names etc but not
    compose a netmail to them.

    I just press "p" in the message menu with a netmail base selected.

    Press "p" and then enter "Areafix" as Name and then "21:1/100" as Netmail address. But instead of asking me if i want to send to that node, it shows me the search result.

    So when I do this it will show the result but then ask is this the address yes/no and I say yes and then carry on.

    Do you have a nodelist compiled in your mystic setup? In other words if you
    use the nodelist browser and look up my surname 'hayton' do you see me pop up with a few Zone 21 listings or nothing?

    The other question is what is your setting in mystic -cfg > config > message settings > force NL lookup?

    Yes, that„s what i would expect, but that question does not show up.

    Yes they show up. Nodelist for fsxnet and fidonet are compiled and show up in the search here and in the nodebrowser.

    The other question is what is your setting in mystic -cfg > config > message settings > force NL lookup?

    My config says "Force NL match" is No.

    Thanks for your help Avon.

    Hmm.

    So can you double check the netmail base you are trying to post to is set as
    a base type=netmail and that you ACS settings do allow your you as a logged
    in user to be able to read and post.

    Also, check export to is set to 0 nodes

    Also confirm what net address you have set for the base.

    Let's start with those..

    Do you have a nodelist compiled in your mystic setup? In other words you use the nodelist browser and look up my surname 'hayton' do you s me pop up with a few Zone 21 listings or nothing?
    Yes they show up. Nodelist for fsxnet and fidonet are compiled and show
    up in the search here and in the nodebrowser.

    OK so that's cool, you're running the merge nodelists stanza in MUTIL then
    and getting the output you would expect.

    The other question is what is your setting in mystic -cfg > config > message settings > force NL lookup?

    My config says "Force NL match" is No.

    cool, that's fine too.

    Thanks for your help Avon.

    No prob. Hopefully we can suss why :)

    I double checked and basetype is netmail.
    I am logged in as Sysop with s255. read is s10g1 read and post s20g1 and
    Sysop ACS is s255g1.

    Also, check export to is set to 0 nodes
    Checked and true, no node is set.

    Also confirm what net address you have set for the base.
    Let's start with those..
    21:1/218 is my Nodeaddress set in here.

    ok

    Hmm.. would you mind if I logged in and had temp sysop access to have a look
    at the -cfg settings?

    Hmm pondering some more... are you saying when you enter the address 2:31/310 Mystic then displays this result twice?

    So you see the same line with the search results entered twice?

    I'm picking yes to this.

    If yes, head to /mystic/data/nodelist and check that file, chances are you
    will find the nodelist results have been compiled twice there.

    if yes, delete this file, run merge nodelist function once manually.

    check the nodelist file again, if all looks fine then try testing nodelist posting again.

    if probs persist, let me know.

    Yes, that also irritated me.

    Heureka, it works.
    I used the maint.ini from your videos and there, the nodelist import is twice for the list because one lower case and one uppercase. So, that list is imported twice. Seems that mystics isn't case sensitive in this thing.

    So, i have managed to send the netmail now.

    Thanks a lot!

    Yeah that was a work around at a time when case mattered but now it does not. So having just one entry will do the trick now :)
