|    Radius Does Not Send files until Netmail    |
|    29 Apr 13 09:41:39    |
       JE> They are all listed in the Outbound Tab and sit until the 1st        JE> scheduled poll of that day (Midnight), it wont send them on the        JE> regular hourly polls after that. I did notice that all net messages        JE> for these files are #'d 2.msg, 3.msg, 4.msg, etc, which is strange        JE> as 1.msg is never there. That is until a netmail message is created        JE> from the BBS. It becomes 1.msg and then everything works as it        JE> should, polls all systems and delivers the files and messages.              what tool are you using that creates 1.MSG when a higher numbered MSG exists?       the next message created should be at the end of the line, not at the       beginning... UNLESS (read on)...               JE> I can't figure this out, why message 1.msg is never created for the        JE> door files. Any help would be appreciated.              what is the content of that 1.MSG file? is it actually a message or is it the       highwater mark instead? traditionally speaking, 1.MSG is not a message but a       holder for the highest/last processed MSG file counter... it is known as the       highwater mark... some software chose to use other files for this purpose to       avoid confusion but then you run into problems similar to this...              then comes the question of are those MSG files removed after they have been       processed or are they simply marked as having been sent? what is removing the       1.MSG file? it should never be removed if it is the highwater mark... for one       thing, it tells the next MSG number to be used if there are no MSGs in the       directory...              what specific door games are these you are having problems with?              )\/(ark              ---         * Origin: (1:3634/12.42)    |
