Well, I'm trying Dbridge again, downloaded the newest version, and started from scratch. Everything seems to be fine except all my netmail in fidonet is being put on hold, just like last time. I'm using the internal message editor, and it's seeing the correct node, but when I save it, or any netmail, it goes on hold/Unlisted and never goes out, even if the hub calls in. I have everything set to crash and hub route. This is where I gave up before, what am I missing. I really like dbridge, and want to use it, please help, I know it's something simple I'm missing. I'm using irex now, and I have the same problem with it. what am I missing. Thanks in advance

Change the flags to nothing. Do NOT specify the HUB flag. Now type up a quick Netmail using the editor. Save and exit.

Then go into Config - Scheduler, and ensure that you have an appropriate ROUTE TO statement in the system UN-EVENT. If there are any other MAIL events, delete them for the time being. The ROUTE TO statement is very important.

For example, if your hub was from some guy named Roger at 1:3828/7, your Un-Event routing should be 1:3828/7 FOR 1:ALL

For troubleshooting purposes, you could just put your hubs address, FOR ALL and that will make sure ALL Netmail gets routed to him. For example, 1:3828/7 FOR ALL. You get the idea.

Next, go into Config-Internet sessions. Make sure your Hub's system is specified in there. Make sure he is listed in the appropriate nodelists, or just create a dummy override in the DBNL.AUT file if absolutely necessary.

Now rebuild the nodelist manually (Utilities-Build Nodelist), and also rebuild the outbound queue (Alt+R). If you have followed these instructions there should be no more HOLD/UNLISTED for him.

If the mail does get moved but is not being picked up by the hub, then we move on to troubleshooting the directory.

If the mail is still on hold/unlisted, then there is something else going on that I am not seeing. In that case do a DB EXPORT CG.CFG and email me at nandre -at- net229 -dot- org and I'll take a look,

Ok Nick, it seems I missed the Route-To Statement. It's sending ok now. Just curious, after it was sent, it said "Sent to Staging", but it did go out, and I recieved it on my other system using radius.

Thanks for the assist. Hopefully I can tweak some without breaking it. I plan on using dbridge in a how to manuel for netmail with GAP BBS, at least that is my goal.

Again, thanks

Glad to hear it works,

"Sent to Staging" means that the mail has left the D'Bridge Queue and is being staged for BinkD processing.
