Hello. I seem to have hit a snag with v1.0.6. It took me over a week to notice this but some of my mail was not leaving the system. Also mbindex was throwing a buffer overflow error when compiling the sysops tech net nodelist. I tought it was just something in the nodelist at first. Once I removed STN from my BBS I was able to compile the nodelist no problem.

Then I was trying to get the mail in one of my ~/var/boxes to send and gave it the manual command of mbout p f100.n1.z46 which worked. Then to check the out stats I have it mbout stat and it gave me this error which is pretty close to the same error (buffer overflow) from the mbindex.

mbse@dionysis ~/var/boxes/nicholas_boel $ mbout stat

I've downgraded to 1.0.4 until I can figure this out. No problems running the same command with 1.0.4.

Thanks for your help

Hello Stephen!

Wednesday September 02 2015 10:17, you wrote to me:

Hello. I seem to have hit a snag with v1.0.6. It took me over a week
to notice this but some of my mail was not leaving the system. Also
mbindex was throwing a buffer overflow error when compiling the sysops
tech net nodelist. I tought it was just something in the nodelist at
first. Once I removed STN from my BBS I was able to compile the
nodelist no problem.

Just in case it is:

Go to the directory containing the sources of mbsebbs-1.0.6

make clean

./configure
make > build.log 2>build.err

less build.err

Now see if you have any error messages and likewise warnings to make sure that none are important.

In my case I have warning regarding case, defererencing, and time-t and a fair few if computed or referenced but unused.

These are not causing me any noticable issues. Been there for yonks anyway.
Oh, I run under Mageia v4 X64.


With that done now check build.log and go to the end and that should look clear
as well.

If you are getting any error messages you must act on them.

If all is well install it via
su
make install

Then exit the terminal prog and reload it and log in to user mbse and restart mbtask. IF neede stop then start - in my case its a :
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed start

You must not get error messages also see INSTALL and read the Upgrading
section to ensure you have not missed anything.

One small point - I use Golded and it sometimes causes me problems that
written messages vanish and/or do not get processed by mbfido s (or with -f).

This could be a curruption of the message base and the issue is usually with netmail so I just delete the lot in my netmail areas having coping them to another area if really needed but tend to avoid that just in case.

Must find another editor sometime.
