      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 3:770/100 81162064       TZUTC: 1300       A suggestion for echomail hub function.              Had a node that had a BOT malfunction that was sending out around multiple       messages per minute to the FSX_BOT echo. All messages had different MSGID and       were essentially different in body content.              It would be good if Mystic could detect the flooding of an echo by a node and       if a threshold is reached stop the messages from continuing to be processed.       Perhaps an auto delink from echo if x messages posted within x minutes plus a       netmail alert sent to node + hub admin?              Dunno... but thought I'd pass this one along, not sure how other tossers       handle such things. We ended up with 8570 messages posted before it was caught       and manually delinked.               Best, Paul              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/09/29 (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: 229/428 452 550 664 700 981 240/5832 249/206 307 317 400       SEEN-BY: 250/5 8 267/800 282/1038 292/854 298/25 301/1 305/2 3 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 340/1000 342/200 633/280 712/848 770/1 3 100 340       SEEN-BY: 772/210 220 230       PATH: 770/100 1 317/3 229/426           |
