Can't export message in area HNET_TEST without active downlinks.

Scanning Squish areas ...


NetMail: 0, EchoMail: 0

I've got node, seen-by and export set. What could I be doing wrong? I've
had this before and I have no clue what I did to fix it...

Well, I don't know much about fastecho, but the error says you can't /export/ message in area HNET_TEST without /active downlinks/.

So, I would imagine, if you don't have any active downlinks for that area, you don't need to export anything for it (ie: unset export, since you said you set it).

Nick

Export to is set, and that's the downlinks. Turns out I think it was a VM error. I'd changed some settings, but they hadn't taken effect.

As you can see, I DO have downlinks set... What could I possibly be doing wrong? I've tried removing export to, but that gives the same error. My VM often ignores obvious changes that I've definitely made and no one has any
idea why... That's all I can think is going on.

Is that link 954:895/2 active?

Ok, again I delete my directory structure, recreated it and everything
started working again. VMs are weird.

Nicholas, Shurato is having issues with Netmail so I'm wondering what's going on here with exporting messages. Have you gotten netmail messages from him?
I need to resolve his issue with my system. He sent a packet and my system handled what he said was a netmail message was processed by my Mystic system
as an echomail message. Just curious to see what the hiccup is. I don't
know anything about Fastecho either. I've used BinkD, Mystic, Synchronet's BinkIt and Taurus/Radius and some others, I don't think it's a mailer issue.
I think it's more of how the message is being saved. It should be posted to AreaFix (@ my FTN) with his password and all that regards in a netmail based message base.

I have no idea without any logs or a clue as to what's happening.

issue with my system.

No. Nor do I even know if he attempted to send me one. I haven't heard anything, and with what he had originally posted it didn't look like it had anything to do with netmail.

He sent a packet and my system handled what he said was a netmail
message was processed by my Mystic system as an echomail message.

I would tend to agree it's not a mailer issue. It's possible EleBBS has a different way to save/pack netmail that maybe isn't set right. Or if all that is set right, then the same kind of settings would have to be used in Fastecho. If EleBBS is saving the message as echomail, Fastecho will pass it on as echomail.

Nick
