    Hiya DM...

    I switched mailers to binkd. I was running IRex using .MSG. I changed all the settigns in echocfg to use FLO style mailer and it's creating PKT's just fine. My issue is with outgoing netmail. sbbsecho is still creating *.MSG and putting it in the foler I have specified. I thought it was supposed to create a NNNNnnnn.*ut file within a PKT and the *.MSG was needed or created. Any suggestions?

    You need to change your sbbsecho command line. We use "-linf" for
    FIDOOUT and "-belsry!" for FIDOIN. I forget which one it is that tells sbbsecho to do FLO format but without it, it does MSG format. I
    remember that there is a list of sbbsecho command parameters but I'm
    still wiped out from the session last night.

    Oh hell... I read about that and had a brain fart! Thanks Max... I'm sure that's the issue!!

    I realize you addressed this to DM, but it does in fact create a .msg
    in your netmail directory at first. When FIDOOUT runs, or you run
    sbbsecho to export netmail, it will (or should) change to a .cut file
    and go into your mailer's outbound directory. When it gets sent off, it will rename it to a .pkt.

    Thanks... I finally realized that after hours.. lol. Hey, I'll never forget it again... :)

    You need to change your sbbsecho command line. We use "-linf" for
    FIDOOUT and "-belsry!" for FIDOIN. I forget which one it is that
    tells sbbsecho to do FLO format but without it, it does MSG format.
    I remember that there is a list of sbbsecho command parameters but
    I'm still wiped out from the session last night.

    As I said in the previous message, I forgot all about the -F switch for outgoing using FLO. Made the change and guess what... it's still creating .MSG format and putting it into the outbound directory, where it should be cause that's where I told it to go. I even went as far as updating sbbsecho off the cvs... still not creating the .?ut packets. I know it's stomething stupid and my brain is half fried... lol.


    Off the top of my head, without looking at the config setup, I seem to recall a place where you tell it that you are using BSO in addition to changing the import and export commands. I may be wrong and it may be another mailer I was using at one time, but have a look.

    I got it all worked out. Adding the -F to the sbbsecho for ooutbound was the key. I must have read that 100 times an still forgot to change it. Plus, I was confused originally over netmail. As per DM, Synchronet creates the outgoing netmail in .MSG format and puts it in your outbound folder.... then when FIDOOUT runs, sbbsecho converts it to a *.?un file that binkd can handle. In hindsight, it really isn't that hard and I'm sure if I work on things, I can get D'Bridge to work with IPv6. The standalone binkd works well. :)
