      On 12/06/16, Wilfred van Velzen pondered and said...                Wv> PH> I'm not using a BBS with it just trying to use it as a tosser with Bi        Wv>         Wv> Some where near the bottom of my imaginary to-do list, is the option to        Wv> choose 'None' as bbs. ;)              All good :)               Wv> PH> I reinstalled it from scratch and imported the fmail.nod file it        Wv> PH> created when I asked it do an exported file,        Wv>         Wv> fmail.nod is the configuration file that contains the configured nodes.        Wv> Is there an import/export function for this file?              No it seems not, only a copy and paste action on my part. But it seemed to be       ok to do.               Wv> You told me in netmail you are trying to auto configuring 2000+ areas,        Wv> with probably a lot of messages you are trying to toss at once. That        Wv> will fillup the bad message en dupe boards very quickly. So maybe it        Wv> would work if you set those to 'none'!              Done .. I agree both bad and dupe set to none now..               Wv> PH> 20:22:04.117 Error opening c:\fsxuse\fmail\FMAIL32.DUP: No such file        Wv> PH> directory        Wv>         Wv> This is not a real error, because otherwise FMail would have quit right        Wv> there. There was some generic code that always printed this error when        Wv> it couldn't open any file. But this has already been removed in the        Wv> current beta version...        Wv>               Coolio thanks for doing that Wilfred :)               Wv> PH> 20:22:04.382 Error opening C:\FSXUSE\MSGS\FMAIL\NETMAIL\LASTREAD: No        Wv> PH> file or directory        Wv> PH> 20:22:04.398 Error opening C:\FSXUSE\MSGS\FMAIL\NETMAIL\LASTREAD: No        Wv> PH> file or directory        Wv>         Wv> Likewise.              Noted thanks.               Wv> PH> 20:26:54.769 MAINT        Wv> PH> 20:26:54.769 Can't read file LastRead.bbs        Wv> PH> 20:26:54.769 Exiting with errorlevel 1        Wv>         Wv> I have to look into this, if FTools can do it's job when this file isn't        Wv> present. But as suggested by the other Paul you can probably create it        Wv> with golded...              It was a bit of a process to do so, but yes, I started over and I think I may       be up and running with things starting to work. Will be able to advise more       in next 24 hours - it's been a bit of a process to get to this point but I'm       a persevering chap!               Wv> PH> Does the first node need to be the same name as the defined sysop as        Wv> PH> it's not? I did not set the first entry up as the sysop.        Wv>         Wv> No, the configured nodes are kept in a sorted by nodenumber order in the        Wv> config file, so that shouldn't matter.               OK               Wv> PH> ------------ Tue 2016-12-06, FMail-W32-1.72.0.0 - AreaMgr        Wv> PH> 12:46:56.933 Accepted AreaMgr request from 21:1/126        Wv> PH> 12:46:56.965 Compression : PKZip.Exe -ex -)        Wv>         Wv> This isn't the complete log, isn't it?              No just a snippet of one of the many areafixes that were seemingly being       acted on but not sent back as a reply. I am waiting on a few Zone 21 nodes to       test this out again as I type this reply. Hopefully it will work soon.              Best, Paul              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A31 (Windows)        * Origin: Agency BBS | telnet://agency.bbs.geek.nz (3:770/100)    |
