   TIC tossing and badfile paths sometimes

   Hello g00r00!   
      
   I recently (by accident) received double TICs for a file, and the first   
   processed TIC was incorrect (it had an incorrect file size specification in   
   it), causing the file and the first TIC to be moved to the badfile area.   
      
   However, my mutil.ini FileToss stanza looks like this:   
      
   [FileToss]   
      
           bad_dir=/mnt/bbs/echomail/in/badfile   
           unsecure_dir = true

           check_crc  = true   
           check_size = true   
           allow_unsecure = false   
           allow_replace = true   
           ignore_case = true   
           auto_create = true   
           dir_prefix = /mnt/bbs/files/autocreated/   
           dispfile     =

           618:500/1_dir_prefix    = /mnt/bbs/files/micronet/   
           618:500/1_acs_list      = s10z5   
      
           618:500/24_bad_dir      = /mnt/bbs/echomail/in/badfile/micronet   
           618:500/24_dir_prefix   = /mnt/bbs/files/micronet/   
           618:500/24_acs_list     = s10z5   
      
           77:1/100_bad_dir        = /mnt/bbs/echomail/in/badfile/scinet   
           77:1/100_dir_prefix     = /mnt/bbs/files/scinet/   
           77:1/100_acs_list       = s10z6   
      
           77:3/1_bad_dir          = /mnt/bbs/echomail/in/badfile/scinet   
           77:3/1_dir_prefix       = /mnt/bbs/files/scinet/   
           77:3/1_acs_list         = s10z6   
      
   ...yet the TIC and the ZIP file wasn't moved to /mnt/bbs/echomai   
   /in/badfile/micronet, but rather to the "catch-all" /mnt/bbs/ech   
   mail/in/badfile.

   + 2023-07-07 17:31:47      File MININFO.ZIP Area MIN_INFO From 618:500/1   
   ! 2023-07-07 17:31:47      Bad file size; Moved to /mnt/bbs/echo   
   ail/in/badfile/   
      
   Do you know why this is so? Shouldn't the file and TIC be moved to   
   /mnt/bbs/echomail/in/badfile/micronet as per 618:500/1_bad_dir? The node   
   618:500/1 is correctly defined as an echomail node (and active).   
      
   The files are available here if you'd like to take a peek:   
   https://scbbs.nsupdate.info/files/file_and_tics.zip   
   (I have redacted the Pw line in the TICs.)   
      
   I haven't seen this for all networks -- I have badfiles for FidoNet which get   
   correctly moved to /mnt/bbs/echomail/in/badfile/fidonet, for example.   
      
   Many thanks in advance!   
      
   Best regards
