Hello Papabill,

Everything I have coming in is going into the BADMAIL folder, even
though Fastecho has all the jam areas set up.

Ideas?

Whenever I have seen something like that it usually turns out to be an aka problem. Where does the message come from and is that node setup correctly?

You are probably right, but everything looks o.k.

Got it!! I didn't realize that the point number was not necessary in the initial address setup.

Now if I could figure out how to make the BBS software build message bases automatically, I'd have it made.

Thanks

Been there done that, I've looked right at aka's that looked right, but weren't.. :)

Good.

In Virtual Advanced? I know nothing about that software but see it quite often in the echoes recently.

The guys over in the VADV echo might be able to help.

Read through a couple of messages in the BADMAIL area, and check out the hidden
control lines. FastEcho normally tells you why the message(s) ended up there.
E.g., a popular excuse is something like "Sender not active for this area". :)

Nope, in EleBBS. The guys there are kinda fed up with me. I've been trying to get this thing to work for several years now, and get aggrevated every so often and quit.

Oh, well. I'll keep plugging. At least I (we) got FastEcho working.

:) Some people just don't have enough patience. Since I also run
EleBBs maybe I can be of some help to you there. Just what exactly
are you trying to do again?

That is a plus. :)

First, I'm trying to get FastEcho to handle VirtualNet. From what I hear from Paul Quinn, Douglas Conner is running VirtualNet through a tosser similar to FastEcho.

Then, I'd love to know how to make FastEcho and Allfix auto-create message and files echoes in EleBBS. I hate the idea of having to manually type over 450 message echoes and 350+ files echoes.

I understand thet the point number (in my case 1:123/22.1)is not supposed to be in the System->NetWork addresses, but how does FastEcho understand that it is supposed to toss it to the msg echoes? I keep getting a "Security violation: Destination is not this system" error. My main addy tosses it TO the point addy.

If mail is ariving there for 22.1 then that aka needs to be setup as one of your network addresses.. :)

but how does FastEcho
understand that it is supposed to toss it to the msg echoes? I keep getting a "Security violation: Destination is not this system" error.

Add that point to your network addresses.. May need more setup than that but that's one step.. :)

Isn't EleBBS based on the old RemoteAccess (RA) BBS system? If so, then FastEcho can auto-create RA-style message area definitions that EleBBS could use... I think. :)

I was thinking the same thing. I used FE with RA years ago and I think it did and I think it would do the same for EleBBS.

It has been a while though, and memory fades.. :)

Damn right. I blew RA away just a wee bit over 10 years ago (October '98) but I recalled, somehow, that the EleBBS author was quite active in the RA support echo at about that time.

Now my brain hurts, and I've got a CD to burn and another linux distro to test drive on a new (to me) machine yet...

Cheers,

I thought so too, unless there is something I'm NOT doing right. Fastecho auto-creats the bases, but not in EleBBS.

Unless there's a 'path' problem, and I'm hoping that's all there is to it, then
there may be an area *version* difference which EleBBS can't read. In that case, I'd be looking for some of util to do a conversion from the one to t'other. Ask around in a support area (RA?)/web forum/email/whatever.

Such a converter, if one exists or if that's the problem fix, then it would be just an extra step in the process of incorporating newly-created FastEcho areas
without doing it manually. (I've been -there- over the years and know what hell it is to do it that way [e.g. with Mystic].)

Cheers,
Paul.

Hmmm, interesting. I haven't a clue on this one though. :)

Well I don't know about FastEcho but I know there is a utility for Gecho Pro that will auto create the message bases but for EleBBS I know of no such utility.

of having to manually type over 450 message echoes and 350+
files echoes.

I'm afraid that you will have to manually enter those message bases under EleBBS unfortunately. :( Tis what I landed up doing though I took small bites,
a few echos at a time. <sigh>

I'll have to do a search on pcmicro and see what I can come up with however. :)

Why not join me in my ventrilo chat room, sq1bbs.com, port 3784

I'll have to do that sometime in the very near future.. :)

Re: Badmail

Actually, it does. I deleted all the hand-entered msg bases in both EleBBS and Fastecho, and while I was planning to start again, it actually worked-created the echoes in BOTH FastEcho and EleBBS.

It only creates them in one 'area default', but that's better than having to type 600 message bases in EleBBS and the same number in FastEcho-plus less chance of mistakes.

FE will create areas as they are received from your uplink, if you have it configed properly. That doesn't mean that they will be imported into the
EleBBS format though. Although, EleBBS may be able to use the file FE
creates to create it's own database (AREAS.BBS). (I don't know anything
about EleBBS)

That is does well. You can use the areas to create your own area defaults
too. i.e. I use A to designate email from one uplink and R to designate regional echoes that I get from another source and then P for all
pass-thru echoes.

:) That's what 5/6ths of computing is all about: creating very fast, very accurate mistakes.

IIRC, you can create different default 'types' of configurations but each up/down-link is allowed only one default type. It sure beats what you said, though.

Cheers,
Paul.
