Hello,   
      
      
   I'm using an external mailing-list manager (mailman) and I want to exchange my   
   conferences with this mailman.   
      
   I'm testing the process with my test conference (ESP.PRUEBAS).   
      
   I have defined the [listin] and [listout] sections in my inet.bbb file.   
      
   ===cut,cut,cut===   
   [listin]   
   esp.pruebas@lists.thefreebay.net,,:ESP.PRUEBAS   
   [listout]   
   ESP.PRUEBAS:gateway2@fido.beholderbbs.org,esp.pruebas@lists.thefreebay.net   
   ===cut,cut,cut===   
      
   Where:   
      
   esp.pruebas@lists.thefreebay.net is the email address used by mailman to   
   forward all new emails to their subscribers.   
      
   ESP.PRUEBAS is the name of the conference related to testing, etc.   
      
   gateway2@fido.beholderbbs.org is the email address that is redirected to the   
   BBBS SMTP daemon.   
      
      
   The import process is correct. All mail originated on the mailman side is   
   forwarded to bbbs and is correctly imported to the ESP.PRUEBAS conference.   
      
   But when in my bbbs system I generate new messages in ESP.PRUEBAS, and I   
   execute the outgoing process to my real smtp server to export them:   
      
   bbbs bsmtp r mailbox.thefreebay.net   
      
   I get the next message:   
      
   ===cut,cut,cut===   
   Trying to connect to ESMTP server mailbox.thefreebay.net. Connected to server.   
   Hardware / Software Failure. Please report to SysOp. Bogo Meditation #2/0:   
   Can't open file "/opt/bbbs/main/ffffffffffffffff.dat" for "ub"!   
   Bogo Meditation was caused by missing file.   
   ===cut,cut,cut===   
      
   There are not files with the naming "ffffffffffffffff.dat" or naming   
   "ffffffffffffffff.txt". If I try to generate these files manually the error   
   disappears but (obviously) no mail is exported, and nothing is wrote on these   
   files (size 0). Right now I've deleted the "ffffffffffffffff" files.   
      
      
   On the smtp server side I see on my log only the open and close events for the   
   connection of bbbs:   
      
   ===cut,cut,cut===   
   Apr 27 11:34:42 mailbox postfix/smtpd[26456]: connect from 62.Re   
   -88-2-234.staticIP.rima-tde.net[88.2.234.62]   
   Apr 27 11:34:48 mailbox postfix/smtpd[26456]: lost connection after EHLO from   
   62.Red-88-2-234.staticIP.rima-tde.net[88.2.234.62]   
   Apr 27 11:34:48 mailbox postfix/smtpd[26456]: disconnect from 62   
   Red-88-2-234.staticIP.rima-tde.net[88.2.234.62]   
   ===cut,cut,cut===   
      
      
   What can I do or try?   
      
   Somebody is using bbbs to exchange their mail with external smtp servers? Have   
   you the "ffffffffffffffff" files on your message base folder? Where am I wrong?   
      
   Thank you in advance.   
      
   -   
   A reveure!!
