   Hello Martin,   
      
   Thank your for your feedback below.   
      
      
   AA>> I deleted the nodelist entries completely.   
      
   MF>Are you absolutely certain about that?   
      
   Yes..  Fido/Nodelist/Config table is completely empty.   
      
      
   AA>> 2020-01-11 18:58:23 xpfidonl: diffDir and diffnames done   
   AA>> 2020-01-11 18:58:23 xpfidonl: Nodelist.Count = 1   
   MF>                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   
   MF>                                That tells me that you still have   
   MF>                                one nodelist installed.   
      
   Hmmmm.   
      
      
      
   AA>>  ufile: NODEDIFF.017 2020-01-11 18:58:23 xpfidonl: NodeDiff-Routine   
      
   AA>> Why is it wanting to process a nodediff when I have cleared out the   
   AA>> nodelist config?   
      
   MF>Because for some reason, OpenXP thinks you have a nodelist installed.   
   MF>Have you cleared everything out of the FIDO directory?   
      
   All I have in the FIDO directory are the results of a couple of file-    
   requests long ago in December:   
      
           FILELIST.CFG   
      
   It's contents are:   
      
           # Directory of request file lists   
      
           3:640/1321=TFB-ALL.FL   
      
      
   And the file TB-ALL.FL is in the directory too.  That is all.   
      
      
   The nodelists typically arrive in the FILES directory here.  I had several     
   full and diff files (archived and unarchived) in there.   After I deleted     
   those, the next poll went smoothly.   
      
   Which leads me to the security/bug/weakeness.   
      
   If the FILES directory is used for the arriving nodelists, and it is the     
   same directory for other arriving files such as attachments from other     
   people, then anyone could arbitrarily send me a nodelist, and its presence     
   can screw up oxp (just like the presence of the old nodelist/diffs that I     
   still had in there did).   
      
   The entry "2020-01-11 18:58:23 xpfidonl: Nodelist.Count = 1" above tells     
   me that it saw my stored nodelist files in the /FILES directory, even     
   though oxp's Fido/Nodelist/Config table is completely empty.   Hmmmm.   
      
      
   AA>> While this is still happening, none of the .PKTs are getting tossed   
   AA>> into the bases.   
      
   MF>Yes.   
      
   But... WHY aren't the messages getting tossed? The log files report     
   checking to unpack them and converting them, but the content of the PKTs     
   never show up in the databases, instead, they just get moved to the     
   "SPOOL/" directory.   Maybe the developer can place the actual toss     
   higher in priority as soon as they are converted.  ???
