  • Postie Dupes

    From vorlon@21:1/195.1 to apam on Sun Jun 26 10:51:25 2022
    Hi Apam,

    I deleted all of the message base (Message area's, dupe base etc, the
    dupehist .dat file).

    Did a postie toss on today's packets (22 pkts), and it still reported
    lot's of dupes and only imported 6 messages in two area's.

    I've saved the .pkt's, the message base files, along with a dupe message
    area, the duphist_v2.dat, the log file...

    I've also noticed there's no strings.dat file on the data dir.


    I don't have your current email address to send the zip file to.

    Strings are done differently in talisman. There's no default strings.dat.

    can you please upload it to me at positronicbrain.net:11892 (telnet)

    Hi Apam,

    I've also noticed there's no strings.dat file on the data dir.

    Strings are done differently in talisman. There's no default
    strings.dat.

    You might want to update the Talisman website then, as it lists's that customizing strings, is done vai data/strings.dat

    It is done via strings.dat, there is just no default, by default it uses strings compiled into the binary.

    Hi vorlon,

    Thankyou for the upload, I think I've fixed the issue you were seeing. It seemed to be an issue with uncompressed packets rather than the dupe checker (it was tossing the same packets over and over)

    This is the postie log after a fresh git clone, and compile.
    Will keep an eye on things.
