    From Flavio Bessa@4:801/189.1 to All on Tuesday, May 09, 2017 14:45:49
    Hello everybody.

    My friends, I had an accident with my VM and my BBS was completely lost, so I am rebuilding it from scratch.

    I have reconfigured my Fido uplink and sent a %RESCAN to my host system, and managed to retrieve all messages, with the exception of the messages that have been previously generated by my system.

    Is there a way to recover this from my uplink? Is there a command to instruct %RESCAN to search for all messages, including the ones from my own system?

    Not unless your uplink supports it, I believe. I know I do.

    Actually I just noticed that all messages that were originally from my board got tossed directly into my DUPES area. I'll check how to disable it.

    This would be normal behavior and I would not disable the dupe checking feature. The only way that I can think of around that is to get a
    different node number.
