      MSGID: 2:250/1@fidonet 6300ff98       CHRS: UTF-8 2       TZUTC: 0100       TID: MBSE-FIDO 1.0.8 (Linux-x86_64)       * Originally in ECHOLIST       * Crossposted in ELIST              Hello All!              I notice that there are 2 or 3 systems that poll 2:25/21.              There is NO NEED to do so as your system will NEVER but never, receive any       traffic - ECHO's or FILES.              Please stop polling as all transient traffic for both files and echo's is sent       direct only to 2:250/1 for onwards transmission to all downlinks that are       connected for each.              The system at 2:25/21 is a very basic computer based around a Raspberry Pi 3B+       which uses a low powered Arm CPU. That means it takes up very little       electricity.       Doing what it does with the Elist system and the mbse bbs system it works well       but un-needed / un-wanted received polls take up processing resources that       could effect normal operations and more importantly cost more money in       electricity and the cost of which is increasing almost weekly let alone       monthly.              Please stop !                     Vincent              --- Mageia Linux v8 X64/Mbse v1.0.8/GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: Air Applewood, The Linux Gateway to the UK & Eire (2:250/1)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 18/200 25/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 129/305 331 153/7715 218/700 221/1 227/114 229/111 112 113       SEEN-BY: 229/206 317 400 424 426 428 470 664 700 250/0 1 3 4 5 6 8       SEEN-BY: 250/11 12 261/38 263/0 266/512 275/1000 282/1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 3634/12       PATH: 250/1 292/854 229/426           |
