      REPLY: 1:320/219@fidonet 5dc75662       MSGID: 2:280/464.47@fidonet 5dc7d614       CHRS: UTF-8 4       TZUTC: 0100       TID: CrashMail II/Linux 1.7        AL>>> mbcico (the mailer included with MBSE BBS) rejects the M_GOT        AL>>> with the 64-bit value and ends up trying to send the file again        AL>>> in the next session. I suspect that ifcico (which mbcico was        AL>>> based on) will do the same, although I haven't tested it yet.               Ol>> Every mailer should reject that M_GOT, the value doesn't make any        Ol>> sense.               AL> Incidentally, I discovered that the timestamp of that file on disk was        AL> showing as November 25, 1961, so it should be a negative value.        AL> Converting the decimal to hex yields FFFF FFFF F0C4 3650, which in 2's        AL> complement notation is -255576496. A quick Unix time conversion        AL> results in Sat 25 Nov 1961 10:31:44 PM UTC. Therefore, it appears        AL> that the value is a correct 64-bit Unixtime for the file timestamp as        AL> it was on disk.              I polled your system with tcpdump running and sent a .pkt from 1966. It looks       like a binkd bug to me:              M_FILE 7eee1e8f.pkt 450 18446744073609551616 0              instead of              M_FILE 7eee1e8f.pkt 450 -100000000 0              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: * nigirO (2:280/464.47)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 154/10 203/0 221/0 227/114 229/101 200       SEEN-BY: 229/354 426 1014 240/5832 249/307 317 280/464 5003 5555 292/854       SEEN-BY: 310/31 342/200 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 280/464 229/426           |
