|    Rejecting an incoming connection    |

      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A46       MSGID: 3:770/100 2a9887ba       TZUTC: 1200       Hi guys              As some of you may know I run an othernet in Zone 21 and have a /999 test AKA       that nodes who which to test their polling setup to my HUB can use when first       setting up and before they apply and get their own node number.              The problem I have at present is that someone has set up their BBS and is       polling the HUB every 2 minutes using the test AKA. This is way too frequent,       has been going on for weeks, and despite a netmail to that test system asking       for the sysop to contact me to arrange their own node number, there's been no       reply and no let up in polling frequency.              I'm looking for a way for BinkD to reject the incoming connection based on       something like SYS or ZYZ info presented. Is such a thing possible using a       perl script or similar?               Note I am not a perl guru so any suggested fix you have I'd appreciate a bit       of hand holding to implement it.              Also of note, setting such a block up is not my preferred choice but I have       exhausted options to contact the unknown sysop and want to ensure the test       AKA is available for others to send/recieve packets from also... with a       polling frequency of 2 mins the offending system gives no one else a look in.              Thanks for your thoughts / guidance.              Best, Paul       --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Windows/32)        * Origin: Agency BBS | Dunedin, New Zealand | agency.bbs.nz (3:770/100)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81 114/709 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 124/5016 129/305 153/250 154/10 203/0 220/70 221/0 1 6 226/17       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/101 200 424 426 550 664 700 720 1016 1017       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 5832 249/109 206 307 317 261/38 267/800 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 5555 282/1038 288/100 292/854 8125 301/0 1 101 103       SEEN-BY: 301/113 123 812 310/31 317/3 322/757 340/1000 341/66 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 100 340 772/210       SEEN-BY: 772/220 230 2452/250 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 770/100 1 280/464 301/1 229/426           |
