I must still have something off, because it never does send anything, and the packet is still sitting there. I'll keep on plugging away at it...
Thanks Mark for the reply.

Is Binkd loaded? Unless you have DB configured to load binkd as it starts up, you will have to seperately start binkd.

Yes, Binkd is loaded. I can see it call out, but it never sends
anything. The hub calls me also, and it never picks anything up. I get
my packets for echo mail, but net mail just stays there as a packet,
but the actual *.msg in the netmail folder dissapears.

Does it remain as a *.MSG? Binkd is a BSO mailer and needs the .msg converted to .*ut by your tosser.

First of all, lets verify that the BinkD mailbox directory exists for the destination. If the mailbox/staging directory does not exist, no mail can be correctly exchanged. Lets shut down both D'Bridge and BinkD.
ie. if the destination is 1:229/426 and your QUEUE directory is \DB\QUEUE, then in DOS, CD \ your way to your D'Bridge directory and type:
DBUTIL QNAME 1:229/426
MD \DB\QUEUE\D-00106D.0BU
Note the output of DBUTIL QNAME. That makes up the mailbox name, just add the "D-" infront of it. In this case, 1:229/426 equals D-00106D.0BU.
While we're at it, lets also make sure nothing is being put on "Hold" status by BinkD. CD \DB\DATA and type:
DEL /S *.HLD
DEL /S *.TRY
This will delete the control files that tell BinkD to put stuff on hold, and also resets the number of "tries" (attempts) to contact destination systems.
Restart both D'Bridge and BinkD. Watch very carefully on the next connection attempt, or force one out by doing a POLL to the remote system.
If mail is still not being exchanged, then verify in the logs that when the system in question connects with yours, that the "domains" are matching. BinkD uses whats known as "5 dimentional" addressing where the domain portion MUST match with the remote system otherwise no mail will be exchanged. The confusing part is that in 5D addressing, it is not necessarily an actual Internet domain name, but rather moreso a mutually-agreed-upon domain.
In the BinkD log, if the destination is 1:229/426 and you see something like "1:229/426@fidonet.org busy or N/A" when a connection is established, then uh-oh, the domain is not being correctly matched and no mail will be exchanged in the session.
In D'Bridge CONFIG-INTERNET, you see that each line in the BINKD SESSIONS screen begins with the Fido address, a space, and the domain name. In the case of Fidonet, this should be set to "fidonet". However, a lot of systems in Fidonet may not necessarily specify "fidonet" as the presented domain in a BinkD session. Very carefully watch your log and if the remote system presents something else, lets say, fidonet.org, then in Config-Internet, you will ARROW DOWN to ADDITIONAL OPTIONS and specify:
domain fidonet.org alias-for fidonet
Exit Config-Internet, and restart both D'Bridge and BinkD once again. Force another connection to the remote system, paying attention to the connection log. Note that I strongly recommend NOT specifying "dot" notation in 5D domains in CONFIG-INTERNET. Keep Fidonet as "fidonet". When you start getting into mixing and matching the variations of "fidonet", it becomes a bit difficult to troubleshoot domain-related problems going forward.
If these two suggestions - The mailbox directory and the BinkD domains - if these two do NOT solve the problem, then let me know.

I stand corrected. Must have read it too quickly. I thought he was
having issue with 'netmail'
that's why I mentioned the ?UT. I agree there must be an issue with
it creating a ?LO.
My apologies...

I'm using the interal editor of Dbridge, so dbridge should be handeling all of this. I don't even have the tosser in the loop with netmail.
That's what I liked about dbridge, as it had it's own editor, as we
still don't have netmail capibilities with the software I'm using or
it's tosser. Let's just say I'm using dbridge as a standalone at the moment with no bbs till I get everything set up. As a standalone, it should take any message I write with it's internal editor, or any poll
I create with it's internal system, and process them correctly with no tosser. Am I correct with this assumption?

Hmm. Perhaps Roger or Nick or Ward can help you with this one. I occassionally play with DB, but am by no means an expert in it.
Still no movement.
I will personally remote-in and fix this for you.

Nick jumped in and gave me a list of things to do, and I just sent him a report. Hopefully we are getting closer to a solution. Thanks fo rthe reply

I honestly can't tell you. I have given up on dbridge, as I can't
get the answers I'm looking for. I'm back to internet rex.
