Hi Jay.

So the difference to my netmail was that my .pkt did not contain
password.

I'll send you one more crashmail, with pkt.password 12345678.

Bingo! This one failed:

So it seems that Mystic doesn't like .pkt's with password in unsecure inbound. It is not necessarily a bad thing. :)

Hmm... I think (Jame's correct me if I'm wrong here) the intention is that netmail will always toss but tossing unsecure echomail is optionally togged on/off in the MUTIL ini.

In the back of my mind I'm fairly sure the intention was to always allow netmail to be tossed in.

But I could be wrong too :)

Best, Paul

My memory of the details might be a little foggy too! :)

Mystic will process netmail but not echomail from unsecured packets as you said. I think initially it always allowed echomail too, but based on your
feedback I stopped that from happening.

I am guessing we might have discussed making tossing echomail an option but I don't see it in the code, so maybe we just didn't get to it or ended up saying it wasn't needed?

When a unsecure PKT has an password assigned to it, Mystic will never process it under any circumstance. To do so would mean Mystic is ignoring the assigned password to the PKT, so off to the BAD PKT directory it goes!

I am of course open to ideas on how to handle these better if you guys think there is a better way to do these things!

Cool, thanks for the confirmation.

Yeah I'm foggy on the details too but I'm picking that's what this switch is/was for?

; Toss packets from unsecure directory in addition to inbound?
unsecure_dir = true

My memory of the details might be a little foggy too! :)

We're all getting older and erm .. wiser I think :)

Best wishes to you for the year ahead. I hope family and yourself are safe
and well during these crazy times.

That option enables whether it will toss unsecure PKT/bundles but it will only process netmail, not echomail. From what I can see there is no longer a way to import unsecure echomail (which is probably a good thing?).

Agreed!

Thanks and same to you!
