|    Polling Loop?    |
|    12 Mar 19 09:22:02    |
      MSGID: 1:282/1031.0 a6420d9c       TZUTC: -0600       CHARSET: PC-8       Hello There,              Here is something I have noticed that has happened occasionally for awhile       now. BBBS will get stuck in a continuous polling loop. It doesn't always       involve the       same remote system or even the same FTN. This round of polling continued       until I seen it happening and issued the command 'bbbs bom d 1:14/5'. Any       thoughts on what might be causing this behavior? It's like BBBS doesn't detect       that the connection was completed and tries again and again and again. Or       Mystic isn't expressing that the connection was completed and so BBBS retries.       This also happened on previous versions of BBBS.              190312 07:34 Calling The Twisted Balloon, ftn.region14.org       190312 07:34 CONNECT 57600/RAW       190312 07:34 BinkP mail session       190312 07:34 Region 14 IP Server, 1:14/5       190312 07:34 AKA: 1:14/0       190312 07:34 SysOp: Jeff Smith       190312 07:34 From: Anoka, MN, USA       190312 07:34 Using: binkd/1.0.4/Linux binkp/1.1       190312 07:34 Flags: 115200,TCP,BINKP       190312 07:34 Mail session completed       190312 07:34 --------------------------              [...] Another 32 consecutive and continuous polls              190312 07:37 --------------------------       190312 07:37 Calling The Twisted Balloon, ftn.region14.org       190312 07:37 CONNECT 57600/RAW       190312 07:37 BinkP mail session       190312 07:37 Region 14 IP Server, 1:14/5       190312 07:37 AKA: 1:14/0       190312 07:37 SysOp: Jeff Smith       190312 07:37 From: Anoka, MN, USA       190312 07:37 Using: binkd/1.0.4/Linux binkp/1.1       190312 07:37 Flags: 115200,TCP,BINKP       190312 07:37 Mail session completed                     Jeff              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-4        * Origin: Fidoneet: The Ouija Board - Anoka, MN -bbs.ouijabrd.net (1:282/1031)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 15/0 2 19/36 34/999 90/1 102/401 103/705 104/57 116/18       SEEN-BY: 120/331 123/140 1970 128/2 153/7715 154/10 203/0 214/22 218/0       SEEN-BY: 218/1 210 215 401 520 700 720 802 220/60 221/0 222/2 226/17       SEEN-BY: 229/107 426 452 1014 230/150 152 240/1120 5832 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 250/1 261/38 100 266/512 267/155 275/100 280/464 5003 282/1031       SEEN-BY: 282/1032 1056 288/34 291/1 111 292/624 854 298/25 26 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/119 219 322/757 340/400 342/13 200 393/68 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1 801/161 189 2452/250 3634/12 5020/1042       PATH: 282/1031 261/38 218/700 103/705 280/464 229/426           |
