    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.

    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.

    On 08 Mar 17 20:55:51, C.G. Learn said the following to Joe Delahaye:

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

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

    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'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?

    In the Queue Directory, there is another directory named D-00107N.02l, which has 3 packets in it, named 01601341.pkt, 31127501.pkt, 31146561.pkt. in the netmail directory (Message dir), there is 1.msg, and a lastread file. I changed my settings to keep all netmail so I could trace this issue. I have never
    seen a BSO or a ?LO file of any sorts, but I have never looked until after binkd has made it's run. Hope this helps

    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.

    There were *.TRY files in the \DBRIDGE\DATA\FIDONET, and \DBRIDGE\DATA\WHISPNET directories, which have just been deleted. There is also a 0113005D.FLO file in the \DBRIDGE\DATA\VALHALLA directory which I have not touched.

    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.

    My Hub as it appears in Dbridge:

    My BINKD Alias, Additional BINKD options:

    domain fidonet.org alias-for fidonet

    domain fido.net alias-for fidonet

    If these two suggestions - The mailbox directory and the BinkD domains - if these two do NOT solve the problem, then let me know.

    Still no movement.

    I'm by no means gifted when it comes to mailers, and I wish I understood them more. At the moment, I'm using Dbridge as a standalone mailer, and only using the internal editor to produce the netmails or polls from the drop down menu. My bbs does not have netmail capibilities at this time, and that is why I wanted dbridge, as it has a built in editor for netmail. My mail tosser does not even enter into the question, as I'm only doing netmail at the moment using the built in editor, so I'm assuming dbridge is handeling everything. I do have dbridge set up not to process any incoming packets, so my tosser can put them into the bbs. At the moment, I'm just trying to get the netmail and poling issue fixed before I go live with the rest, as the incoming mail is working fine, and being processed by the tosser. I really wish There was someone in my area that really understood dbridge, so I could get on the phone with them and go step by step through the setup, as I'm sure it's something very simple, but I'm not seeing it..... Thanks again for all of your help.

    the PKT is created and the MSG removed according to the last two

    to see what the PKT name is, what the related ?LO file is named and

    I stand corrected. Must have read it too quickly. I thought he was
    having issue with 'netmail'

    it /is/ netmail... that's why it is in a MSG file in his netmail directory... when it is packed up for sending, it is placed in a PKT...

    that's why I mentioned the ?UT. I agree there must be an issue with
    it creating a ?LO.

    the above mentioned PKT can be a ?UT file if that's how the system wants to handle it... no ?LO files are needed for ?UT files... the ?UT would be named in
    the BSO format and placed in the proper outbound directory for the destination zone...

    on the other hand, if the file is a PKT, then a ?LO file is needed to point to it... that ?LO file will be named in the BSO format and placed in the proper outbound directory for the destination zone...

    two ways to skin the same cat :)

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

    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?

    yes, as I explained to mark I misread the last part of your original message and thought the outbound netmail was still in .MSG format rather than a pkt with a ?LO file that will trigger binkd.

    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.


    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.


    Have a nice day.

    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 was very interested in this when I loaded D'B for the first time. I was wondering what was the best way to import echos into the editor for the first time?

    Ahh I found the path to import "AREAS.BBS" and tried it. Just need to read everything in site.

    i areafix the ones i want and let the tosser audoadd them to the rest of the config... that way i don't end up with a bunch of empty areas... the areas will
    appear when they actually start getting traffic... definitely much better than importing 200 or so areas from a NA file...

    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.

    D'Bridge has context sensitive help, so no matter where you are in the setup, you can press F1 for help and samples. In any case, mark lewis answered the question about importing areas.

    How are you using D'Bridge's BinkD module in the Internet/Binkd setup? It would help us to answer your questions if we knew that.
