i had some problems installing it. i didnt want to register on slasher's forum over something trivial.
is there a real way to contact the guy?

and why do the docs say slasher owns it?

Because you are using a version that is dead inm the water. I use PB 2.17 which was release before Telegrafix destroyed it. The upcoming version fixes several Y2K issues that Telegrafix didn't fixed.

John bought the source code from the former Telegrafix programmer who legally owned it. John had others go through it and fix a few things but the PB source code was still a terrible mess (I know; I have a copy of it). John then realized he couldn't do much with it so he sold it to Jason who has been able to fix a lot of the "fatal" issues with the PB code.

With 2.17, it's freeware, no registration. The rest of the Telegrafix and John's "registration" code is gone.

Jason Bock is a member of Fidonet and can be reached in the PROBOARD echo or at proboardbbs.com. He's also a member of Micronet and can be contacted in MIN_PB.

Just a head's up, your recent messages (from ProBoard v2.17) have been received multiple times here. Since the messagess don't have a message-ID, only content dupe checking would work to discovwer/remove the dupes (which I guess I will now enable for this echo). Just thought I'd let you know.

I checked and I have Squish set to dupe check both the message header
and the MSGID. Could it be a system is in a negative feedback loop and
sending out mail it's already received?

Besides the dupes, could it be a system is sending out mail it's

it's a misconfigured system. That's Kurt Weiske's system. I'll netmail
him and have him look into it. Thanks for letting me know.

Same here. I just didn't have body-text dupe checking enabled for this echo (never needed it here), before now.

If negative feedback loop means a system in the Path line is stripping Seen-By lines, likely yes.

Your older messages, and this one, include a unique Message-ID:
X-FTN-MSGID 1:18/200 654b9ee6

which can aide in message de-duplication.

Looks like the ProBoard echomail program/support doesn't include Message-ID support (?).

no they don't. maybe 25 years ago, but most of it bounces back. that email address is widely used for spammers.

Furthermore, the Oct 26th documentation has John Riley's name all over it, and and only his email contact. so i guess we all have THAT

You likely have (body-text) dupe-checking enabled for this echo in SCFG.

The only dupe checking I have is "50 message CRCs". If that is the same as "(body-text)" you are correct. Otherwise, I don't appear to have that
turned on.
