    From Tiny@618:618/12 to Warpslide on Tuesday, December 10, 2024 17:41:59
    Hello Warpslide!

    Still fighting with netmail. Can you have a look at this:

    MsgBaseDir D:\MESSAGES
    # Areas
    EchoAreaDefaults -dupeCheck move -dupeHistory 11
    # Main netmail
    NetmailArea Netmail D:\MESSAGES\
    # Badmail Area
    BadArea BADMAIL D:\MESSAGES\BADMAIL -b Squish -g A -lr 0 -lw 0 -a 1:229/452@fidonet -$m 5000 1:229/426

    Do you happen to know if I need to specify something in the Netmail area to tell it I want it to use *.MSG? I went hunting and I have found a squish base named messages at d:\messages.sq* so I am thinking it's tossing there instead of where I want it. d:\messages\1.msg etc

    Thanks for any help,

    ... I only touch base with reality on an as-needed basis!

    I have two netmail areas. The main one is JAM & the other is MSG for makenl, they're setup like this:

    netmailarea NETMAIL /home/ubuntu/fido/msgbase/netmail -b jam
    netmailarea MAKENL /home/ubuntu/fido/makenl/msgs -b msg

    When makenl compiles a new nodelist that needs to be sent off it'll create a new msg which becomes: /home/ubuntu/fido/makenl/msgs/1.MSG

    Once I run "hpt pack" it's sent off.

    according to documentation the flag -b Msg would do it.

    but documentation also says
    "Like all areas NetmailAreas is *.msg bases per default."

    Ahhh ha! LOL

    Once I run "hpt pack" it's sent off.

    Thanks again Jay! I've made the change and will give it a shot! I think
    it was as simple as the -b msg though. (The docs are.... yes)
