Anyone know of a tosser that supports the Squish message format?
sure... what OS? are you looking to interface it with other software,
too?
squish being the #1 squishbase tosser... the husky hpt also does squish
as well as JAM and MSG... there're others, too, but the OS comes more
into play with them... squish and hpt can be compiled for your OS... others are only available as binaries... some tossers will work with existing software like, eg: maximus and squish...
I'm looking for something for Linux. I will be using it with BinkP.

If you want me to look at your fido/config feel free to import it into a netmail and send it over and I'll have a look, or post it here if you like.

the same issue you were having with Crashmail.

Hello Al,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First off, thank you. Here are some links:
I have been looking at your config, area and links trying to work it out
but I just get lost in there.. :)
I'm going to import my config, areas, links and route for you to look at
and see if you can make any of it work for you. I'll strip the areas file since it's all just more of the same.

Unless your BBS can handle .MSG style messages, you should probably
change your NETMAIL area to use squish also.
Your commented out Agoranet EchoArea tags should have my node number, not yours. Change those to 46:1/100.0, and DON'T put (or keep) your node number on those lines either.
In config:
You need some route info. At the bottom of the page, put:
route crash 1:154/10 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:*
route crash 46:1/100 46:*
Other than that, things should start working better after all those
things are taken care of.
I'm having a hard time reading your config. I think you need each
keyword on one line. I'm going to import a links file for you below. It
is very simple and omits many keywords that you can add if you need
them. I have the autoareacreate keywords disabled becuase they are
little different in the version I use. If you need them, uncomment them and run tparser to make sure everthing is OK.
This is a very basic links file based on the setup I use for my own
points here. Your whole setup will likely need more, like routeing statements but it's a start. Post your comments and questions.
Ttyl :-),

Bleh. Thank you for all of the help, all. But, now i'm having this problem:
"/etc/husky/links", line 38: Address 46:1/124 is not our aka! "/etc/husky/links", line 38: error 2 in: ourAka 46:1/124
Please correct above error(s) first!
The line it's referring to is within this:

WEll i can tell you one problem right off the bat!

Remove the xxxxxxxx after the password! otherwise i believe it
thinks
thats a real password!
add this line right after that..

So, i'm trying to compile Squish. It complains that it's missing libcompat. Info on libcompat is scarce at best. But, I believe I found
the source. Problem is, it doesn't compile. It's missing the
"Makefile.in" file. If someone could send me a Squish binary, and associated libraries, i'd be much obliged.
That's the issue I had recently. If you have the source for libcompat, does running autogen in that directory do anything? I don't have the source and haven't tried.

Yes. I tried running autogen.sh, it doesn't solve the problem. :/

Are you trying to do this all via source? You could try installing libcombat through your package manager, or have you tried that already?

Yes. I tried that already. :/
And it failed while your package manager tries to install it? If so, you should probably file a bug report for that distribution. Unless
libcompat has other prerequisites that you haven't installed yet.

Actually, it isn't available for my distro (openSUSE).
Just a quick google search without looking into any of the links, I saw (not knowing what version of SuSE they're provided for, or even what version SuSE is currently on - since I don't use it) oracle-lib-compat, compat, compat-32bit, gtk1-compat-devel, and others. So maybe the
package isn't specifically called "libcompat" and you may have to figure out what package provides that library.

What search parameters did you use? I can't find any of these files
when I do a search.
Seriously? What search parameters did *you* use? Try "opensuse
libcompat". If that's not easy enough, I don't know what is. :)

Yes, seriously. I did use those exact search terms. The files that you listed do not show up.
Did you think I was talking about downloadable files? I mentioned that they were only mentioned in the first 10 or so search results, and
didn't bother digging into those links because I don't run that OS.
supports/recommends. And needs, I guess. As it is now, I recieve
packets (in squish format), but they're absolutely unreadable. In the IMP-MAIL.CFG file, it briefly mentions the Squish tosser, so that's
what i'm going by.
HRmmm, I've never heard of getting packets in squish format. Are you sure it's not just a FTN format? Normally that's how you get messages as compressed echomail, and your tosser (Squish, HPT, crashmail etc) is what would toss them to the message base. (Squish, JAM, MSG, SBBS, etc)

Well, BinkP is my mailer, and HPT is my tosser. Currently. HPT tosses
the packets into Squish format. Is what I meant.
And this method works? If so, why are you trying to compile Squish?
Squish is just another tosser (but only supports one message base
format), whereas HPT is much more versatile these days in that category.
If HPT is not working for you, I would be willing to believe that it
would be a lot easier to get that working than trying to find
dependencies for a tosser that's no longer supported.
When you toss the mail with HPT, does everything work as expected?
(Check logs) After you toss the mail with HPT, are you trying to run IMP-MAIL.EXE or whatever ancient unsupported thing you're trying to use? If so, does it give any error messages? Any output at all?
I don't know if IMP-MAIL.EXE is a tosser, or if it's just a message importer. Other softwares has the same kind of thing in those days, like OBV-MAIL.EXE and INIQMAIL.EXE or whatever they were named. So with that
I *think* you're on the right track having a separate mailer and tosser (binkd/hpt). IMP-MAIL.EXE may just import those messages into the BBS.
With that said, are there any options that can be run with IMP-MAIL.EXE? What are the contents of IMP-MAIL.CFG?
Are your message bases setup in Impulse properly? Maybe a screenshot of a message base setup screen?
Anyone trying to help out with this has hardly any information to go by. Most of us aren't going to install all that software, so we need as much information as you can possibly give in order to play this guessing
game. :)

; Sample Configuration File
Nod. Understood. Hopefully, I provided sufficient information in this post.
By the looks of the configuration file, it seems as though IMP-MAIL.EXE
is an actual tosser, and not just an importer. Have you tried running IMP-MAIL.EXE on an incoming packet/bundle without running HPT?

At the risk of sounding stupid, how would I do that?
Just try taking HPT out of the equasion for a little bit. Instead of running HPT on bundles/packets that arrive in your inbound directory,
try running IMP-MAIL.EXE on them and see what happens.

So, I changed the lines to this:
Echo_Toss Squish c:\home\imp\hpt\secure c:\home\imp\hpt\outbound
Echo_Scan Squish c:\home\imp\hpt\secure c:\home\imp\hpt\outbound
I'm still getting a corrupted boards.dat file. :(
That's not what I meant.
What I meant was that you disable HPT completely. So if you have a line
in your binkd.conf to run HPT whenever these packets and bundles arrive, THAT would be the line you change to use IMP-MAIL.EXE instead.
If HPT is tossing those packets/bundles first, then IMP-MAIL.EXE is
trying to toss those same packets.. then you're trying to toss messages twice, which will most likely corrupt your message bases.
That's not what I meant.
To clarify, BinkP puts the incoming bundles in /home/imp/hpt/secure
and the outbound packets in /home/imp/hpt/outbound. So, yes, I did completely disable HPT.

Like I said, I did completely disable HPT. And, besides, IMP-MAIL.EXE
is a DOS program, so I couldn't put it in the poll.sh/binkd.conf
files.

is trying to toss those same packets.. then you're trying to toss

Yes, I understand. And again, I did disable HPT.
So, I changed the lines to this:
Echo_Toss Squish c:\home\imp\hpt\secure c:\home\imp\hpt\outbound
Echo_Scan Squish c:\home\imp\hpt\secure c:\home\imp\hpt\outbound
if imp-mail is using squish or has it built in, then this is likely not right... those "in out" options are commands... not directories...
squish has to be told "in" to process newly arrived mail bundles and packets... squish is told "out" to scan newly written mail in the bbs
out to bundles or packets to send to your upstream... the directory locations should be defined elsewhere in your imp configuration unless
it is expecting a specific directory tree and base location...
Ah. Good to know. Thanks.
Yes, in the message base configuration, I have
the directories assigned like this:
those are the message base directories... does this imp-mail thing have anywhere where the mailer directories are defined? those are what you should have pointing at your mailer inbound and outbound if imp-mail is
a ftn mail tosser for impulse bbs...
those are the message base directories... does this imp-mail thing ha anywhere where the mailer directories are defined? those are what you should have pointing at your mailer inbound and outbound if imp-mail a ftn mail tosser for impulse bbs...
Absolutely not. :(
if imp-mail is a ftn mail tosser for impulse, there /has/ to be
somewhere to tell it where to look for inbound mail and where to place outbound mail... even if imp-mail is not a ftn tosser but a format convertor like used to be used for tossing ftn mail in WWIV, there's
still somewhere that it has to know about for the inbound and outbound mail...
where is this impulse bbs stuff available from?

There is nowhere to define such things. AFAIK. Documentation on Impulse
is very scarce.
