      Hello mark.              15 Sep 11 13:56, you wrote to all:               ml> so, how does one system tell IREX on another system that they already        ml> have the file and IREX doesn't need to keep sending it over and over        ml> and over and over ad nausem???               ml> i've a downlink who's IREX is continually sending me zero byte files        ml> that appear to be echomail bundles (by their names) and the dang thing        ml> won't quit sending even after my binkd tells IREX, for the thousandth        ml> time, that we already have the file in question...               ml> this system has also sent CUT and CLO files which are, IIRC, binkley        ml> style mail control files... is this system possibly misconfigured and        ml> putting all the files into the wrong directory and they're getting        ml> sent to me??              It sounds like they set your node's filebox directory to their Binkley-style        outbound directory. That would result in you getting CUT and CLO files from        their system. If they have more than one system they send mail too, this        setup will probably also result in you getting the other node's mail as well.        You IREX link needs to fix his setup.                     Andrew              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20110223        * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phxbbs.dyndns.org (1:320/219)    |
