I have not seen it referred to, so I am wondering. Since shortly after the upgrade to sbbsecho.v3, I had one node not tossing mail all of a sudden. Looking at the log files, there was an entry for a pcket PW missing. Found "" expected Password. I never had a packet PW with
this node. He does not have one configured for me either. Yesterday another contact the same. No Packet Pw configured ever, and yet it requires one now. It just occurred to me that both these links are running the same mailer software, one of them is the author of DB, but
I have other links also running DB, and so far no problem with them
To be precise, it is the session PW that is now required as the Packet
PW as well for some reason.
That was my issue with Robert Starr. We'd connect with session pw... but sbbsecho was saying the pkt's were bad due to a missing pkt password. I never had one for Robert although he swears we did. I wasn't going to argue over it so I just added the one he was sending over to my sbbsecho.ini.
Here are my logs...
2016-04-12 22:18:57 Importing (secure) 12192104.pkt (Type 2+) from 316:77/1 2016-04-12 22:18:57 Imported: 1 msgs 3whispern <- WHISPERNET_ADMIN 2016-04-12 22:18:57 Imported: 1 msgs total in 0.0 sec (3157.9/min 52.6/sec)
Now the following day...
2016-04-13 01:46:53 Packet c:\fd\secure\12224859.pkt from 316:77/1 - Incorrect password ('??????' instead of '')
2016-04-13 01:46:53 Bad packet detected: c:\fd\secure\12224859.pkt
That's a difference of 4 hours and I'll bet between those times is when Robert updated to v3.
This went on till I noticed the bad pkts in my inbound. Once I added the PKT pw, I renamed all the BAD pkts and sbbsecho imported them. Took me a week to find it.. lol...

I also noticed a "Comment" was added in the form of the AREAFIX password we used.
Just some thoughts...
