  • how to...

    From mark lewis@1:3634/12 to all on Thu Sep 15 13:56:15 2011

    so, how does one system tell IREX on another system that they already have the file and IREX doesn't need to keep sending it over and over and over and over ad nausem???

    i've a downlink who's IREX is continually sending me zero byte files that appear to be echomail bundles (by their names) and the dang thing won't quit sending even after my binkd tells IREX, for the thousandth time, that we already have the file in question...

    this system has also sent CUT and CLO files which are, IIRC, binkley style mail
    control files... is this system possibly misconfigured and putting all the files into the wrong directory and they're getting sent to me??

    It sounds like they set your node's filebox directory to their Binkley-style outbound directory. That would result in you getting CUT and CLO files from their system. If they have more than one system they send mail too, this setup will probably also result in you getting the other node's mail as well. You IREX link needs to fix his setup.

    Quite possibly he is using the same directory for certain things.
