Howdy,

I just got your 2 netmails, looks like they took 5 days to get to me.

I know you live across the ocean, but snail mail would have been quicker! :)

Not sure where they were held up - if you want more info, I'll take a look.

Anyway, I replied, in case they take 5 more days to get my replies!

only three.. nah just kidding :)

I'm not sure what was up, it may have been something at NET 2 not sure...

Thanks for the replies. I've just replied too... this feels like an inter-country game of tennis now... at least I don't have to quarantine for
14 days :)

Hmm... OK, havent seen your replies, and I guess me posting this will trigger my BBS to poll 2/100 and I'll get your netmails.

If so, we may need Mr Solaris to confirm my details in case he is polling me and I'm no longer home...

did you get something then? I could likely check on NET 2 and let you know if there are issues.

Mr Solaris are you about? :)

Yeah, I only got the netmails when my BBS triggered a crash poll to 2/100. So I'm guessing that something is amiss with my config there.

Can you netmail me the correct domain name and port to send to for this node.
I think (just checking the HUB) that it's likely trying to send to the wrong address. Perhaps it's changed over time. Can't recall.

Ignore... I think I have fixed things and you should see packets flowing.

I thought we have the nodelist for this ...

I mean that the mailer automatically uses the address in the nodelist for dialing out.

Yay :) Did you fix it?

Was it an old address...?

Yes there was an old address and port there, so crash traffic was never going to end well. Sorted now.

I need to catch up with Todd as there's a few nodes that could probably be delisted. I also spotted an issue with the Mystic instance whereby some nodes had seemingly lost a key setting that toggled their fileboxes between yes/no/hold

So reset that for several nodes who had files sitting in their fileboxes but were unable to poll and collect nor was Mystic sending them out. Really
strange stuff.
