• Netmail problem

    From HusTler@VERT/HAVENS to All on Tuesday, June 09, 2020 08:33:15
    Since updating to the latest Synchronet build I'm having trouble with Netmail. When I try to reply or send mail to a user I'm seeing "There is no netmail address for this user" when there is one.

    The problem is with the Digital Distortion email reader. When I disable it netmail works fine.

    Well, since you're a self-admitted racist, and your recent
    disgusting comments earned you the wrath of the DigDist author
    (putting you in his twit filter), you may not get help with your
    problem.

    That maybe but the last time I checked using the DigDist reader is not a requirement to run Synchronet BBS. If the author has a problem with my racism I have no problem running a stock Synchronet BBS. Im pretty sure a new reader is coming with newer versions of Synchronet any so how you or anyone feels about me is irrelevant. Isnt it?

    Yes, the latest Distrtion reader. That's what you were talking about, right? And no, it doesn't update when you update Synchronet.. This is its location in CVS:

    Thank you for that. So whenever I update Synchronet I need to update DDistortion reader also. That's disapointing. Thanks for the heads up. Is there anything else tht needs to be updated individualy?

    So whenever I update Synchronet I need to update DDistortion reader also.

    Depends on what your 'update Synchronet' procedure looks like. For lots of people it's:

    - back stuff up
    - get a new build
    - update scripts in exec/ (and subdirectories)
    - run 'jsexec update'
    - restart

    That's essentially an update to Synchronet's core components.

    That's disapointing.

    Only if you set yourself up for disappointment. If your update process doesn't involve the xtrn/ directory, there's no reason to expect stuff in there (eg. DDMessageReader) to get updated.

    The only source of ambiguity here is 'jsexec update', which performs some configuration updates and maintenance - but does not pull in software updates.

    Is there anything else tht needs to be updated individualy?

    By now you probably know the answer to this. Know what you're using, know where it lives, and adjust your update procedure so that it updates the things that you want to update.

    I had fixed that issue with my reader. If you are still having
    problems or are having other problems with it, you can let me know.

    Well I realized he's talking about synchronet. I am using multimail, and realize it's a different issue.

    I don't really think your board has anything to do with it.

    Though, I'm not able to netmail certain people and it says 'user not found.' Like I wanted to netmail xqtr over at another droid with the netmail address he supplied (since my previous attempts failed) and it still didn't work.

    I correlated that racist's comments with mine, and they don't seem to relate.

    That, or I"m doing something wrong.

    He gave me this: xqtr@21:1/111

    Further, what confuses me is the node lookup tool. If I look up another droid bbs, I get these three

    46:20/102, 21:1/111, 77:2/102

    They can appear to be sent but the recipient never receives the message. I assume all three would work, but then the question I hve is, which alias do I use?

    On another note, is it possble you can whitelist my IP address? I can't email myself to my bbs account from my personally hosted email because i think it got filtered.

    I host my email from home (static IP) and my address returns with two host names and my ISP doesn't have my hostname in their a record. Some spam filters are aggressive toward this issue and consider my IP as a source of spam. It becomes a real problem when I reply to listservs. I almost always have to get my IP delisted.

    'Another Droid BBS' is the name of a particular BBS. (Not some type of BBS called a 'droid BBS'.)

    I'm not sure if Synchronet has a whitelist. I know it has a blacklist (IP filter)..

    There are the '*_exempt.cfg' files in 'ctrl', but that only applies to SMTP as far as I know. I don't think there's anything similar for the can files in 'text' (but maybe).

    'another droid bbs'
    The listed node addresses above appear on the nodelist search in your messaging section.
    his address is andr01d.zapto.org
