It's possible that this has been answered already and I missed it. The only outbound that works with my irex and fastecho is netmail and mailbox directories. Everything else ends up in the appopriate directory but is never tossed. I recieve just fine. As a note, one of my email passwords was corrupted so I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to start from scratch. Irex is registered with the max number of nodes. Game packets and echomail does not ever get tossed, which I don't understand.
I'm willing to provide *.rex files.

ok... only outbound...

tossed.

hunh? tossed is for inbound traffic... you were just talking about outbound... i'm confused :?

irex has been known to get corrupted by looking at it sideways... everyone i know that uses it gets their configs right and then makes copies of them to put
back in place the next time they get corrupted... the real question is why do they get corrupted in the first place... starting clean won't prevent the corruption from what i've read over the years...

outbound doesn't get tossed? Really?

Could that be because it's the linux version? I've never seen a corrupted windows version here and I've used Irex for at least 12, maybe 15 years
now. In fact, if you leave the configs alone once they're working
properly, Irex continues to run for weeks and months without interuption.

I don't, because there is no need.

.. the real question is why do they get corrupted in the
first place... starting clean won't prevent the corruption from what

I had Irex stop working lately, but it was due to a switch being changed
that was the cause. It now sits in the 'tray' waiting for a connect on the 24555 port that it is listening to. That won't happen until I find the
password to the router to make a change there.

right... outbound is /scanned/ from the message bases... inbound is /tossed/ into the message bases...

i don't know what flavors the hundreds of complaints over the years have spoken
about... i do seem to recall you having problems at one point and having to put
a backup of your configs in place...

Outbound is scanned and then 'tossed' into a zipped file here. Ok packed.

I don't keep backups...never have. Sometimes I wish that I had, but
chasing the problem and fixing it makes for more familiarity with the program...I did have to re-install it once, but that was due to a HD
crash. Fortunately, I had a tendency to keep links and passwords in a text
file for just such a purpose.

Nobody could have done that. That password is tucked away in a secure and encrypted file and only the re-installation of the program that wrote it
can bring it back. I'm debating that, since the only need for it now is to
look up those websites and passwords and write them into a text file. The program was incompatable and obsoleted by Firefox over two years ago.

Sorry for confusing tossing and scanning, but I was talking about outbound and inbound in the right way.
