      TID: FMail-lnx64 2.3.2.4-B20240523       RFC-X-No-Archive: Yes       TZUTC: 0100       CHRS: CP850 2       PID: GED+LNX 1.1.5-b20240604       MSGID: 2:280/464 69249c17       REPLY: 1:154/10 69246255       Hi Nick,              On 2025-11-24 07:33:32, you wrote to me:               SR>>> Is there something I should have in the node setup to send file        SR>>> attached netmail. When doing a pack, it never touches them               >> That's correct, FMail doesn't touch those.               >> It's kind of historic, because in Frontdoor mode, frontdoor itself        >> handled those netmails. It was never implemented for BSO mode.               NB> If FMail supports fileboxes:              It does, but they shouldn't be used in combination with BSO/binkd, because it       bypasses all the lock/busy file logic, between the mailer and tosser, that is       normally happening in a BSO directory structure. So you have to make sure that       putting files in a filebox is done atomically. So use 'move' from a directory       on the same partition, and not 'copy'! ;-)               NB> Fileboxes per link can be used in BSO mode where anything put in said        NB> directory (usually manually) would be sent to the link.              I'm aware of that. And fileboxes can be defined in the binkd config for each       link (I use that), while it supports the normal BSO file logic at the same       time. If that is what Sean wants/need, it is a good option, and you don't need       FMail/any-tosser, to be involved. Just don't use netmail file attaches.               NB> So in Sean's case, if he knows where this/these netmail attach files        NB> are supposed to be going, he can setup a filebox for that link, and        NB> manually move the file into that directory so it gets sent the the        NB> proper system.              Yes, in the binkd config.                     Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.3.2.4-B20240523        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 13/0 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187       SEEN-BY: 129/14 305 153/757 7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 214/22 218/0       SEEN-BY: 218/1 215 601 700 840 860 880 900 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110       SEEN-BY: 229/112 206 317 426 428 470 664 700 705 240/1120 5832 263/1       SEEN-BY: 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 5555 291/111 292/854 8125 301/1       SEEN-BY: 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 5020/400       PATH: 280/464 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
