      Hello Allen,              On Monday September 05 2016 05:10, you wrote to Wilfred van Velzen:               AP> I got a ping/trace from another node and it went into my "unsecured"        AP> folder. Unfortunately F_Mail does not have a place to put unsecured in        AP> the list so my system did not find it.              There is a reason fmail does not automatically process mail from the unsecure       directory...                     I have the following solution:              1) I fly the MN flag in the nodelist. Signaling that compressed mail will not       be automatically processed without prior arrangement. Only raw *.PKT is       automatically processed from an unsecure session.              2) in my mailrcvd.bat I have a line before caliing fmail toss:               if exist \fido\unsecure\*.pkt move \fido\unsecure\*.pkt \fido\secure\                     Works for me.               AP> I'm wondering if there's a way to make F_Mail pack all outbound        AP> netmail / and mail routed through my system as crash mail to the        AP> destination?

If the crash mail bit in the message is set, what you have t do is:               fmailw32 pack * -c               AP> I don't trust routing ANYTHING especially Z2 netmails through        AP> anything in Z1.              Then don't...               AP> Z1 would like you to think that they are organized, but they are NOT.        AP> At one time you could route a net's mail through their NC and it would        AP> get there... NOT anymore. I don't know how reliable it is over in Z2        AP> but if you route to a nodes NC they may or may not get it where it's        AP> supposed to go.              No comment... ;-)                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20130111        * Origin: http://www.vlist.eu (2:280/5555)    |
