      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A46       MSGID: 3:770/100 18b12566       REPLY: 1:229/664 36853e91       TZUTC: 1200       On 13 Sep 2021 at 02:54p, Jay Harris pondered and said...                JH> I have a couple of nodes setup that I only need to send a file to every        JH> now & then, along with a point who polls me to pickup mail.        JH> Would it be possible to add a "Poll: YES|NO" option to the node's binkp         JH> settings that would skip it from being included in "./mis poll forced"?        JH> I mean, it doesn't hurt anything that I poll them once an hour (in the        JH> case of the point I just get "No BINKP hostname defined for 1:2/3.4"        JH> even though the node is set to Export Type: Hold). But it would be more        JH> efficient if it were possible to exclude nodes I know I'll never receive        JH> anything from.              You could perhaps just set up a different event in Mystic to poll the nodes       you want in the shell line vs asking Mystic to poll all regardless of if       there is mail etc. to exchange with them or not.              I tend to do this so have an event for specific nodes              ./mis poll 3:770/1|./mis poll x:xxx/x etc.. on the shell line              You can also run ./mis poll send so that when you export something out Mystic       is only going to poll nodes that it has mail for to deliver (so long as the       echomail node is not set to HOLD, in which case it would not poll it)              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Linux/64)        * Origin: Agency BBS | Dunedin, New Zealand | agency.bbs.nz (3:770/100)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 114/705 120/340 123/120 131 129/305 154/10       SEEN-BY: 218/840 220/70 226/17 30 100 227/114 702 229/101 424 426       SEEN-BY: 229/428 452 550 664 700 981 1017 240/5832 249/206 307 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 250/5 8 267/800 282/1038 292/854 298/25 301/1 305/2       SEEN-BY: 305/3 317/3 322/757 340/1000 342/200 633/280 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 770/3 100 340 772/210 220 230       PATH: 770/100 1 317/3 229/426           |
