  • echomail import problems

    From dragonmaster@21:1/149 to All on Mon Nov 11 21:36:00 2019
    Hi

    since a few hours ago, i can't import new messages from fsxnet.
    mutil said it can't extract the bundles...
    unzip can extract the pkt-files and then i can import them...

    has anybody else this problem?

    Best Regards,
    Dragonmaster

    Is the bundle in question 0kb?

    hi paul,
    no, i unzip them on the console and run mutil again.
    it imports all pkt-files. then i deleted all files in the echomail/in folder. now it runs like before :-)

    so to clarify, now you have removed all files from echomail\in folder the subsequent packets are being uncompressed and importing OK?

    It may have also been something in a temp folder MUTIL was using while uncompressing files perhaps?

    Yes. In detail, i wars wondering why no new messages appears in the bases.
    I found mo* und tu* files in the echomail/in folder and open one of them with "nano" - it starts with "PK" and i know it's a zip-file ;-)
    Mutil said in the logfile that it was unable to uncompress the files.
    i checked this by using "unzip filename" - some pkt-files appears in the echomail/in folder. than i run mutil again and it imports the pkt-files.
    i unzip the rest of the files and run mutil again. in the log i have seen
    that all pkt-files were imported properly. that i deleted all the other files.

    It may have also been something in a temp folder MUTIL was using while uncompressing files perhaps?
    i have seen this in the logfile but the mutiltemp-folder was empty.

    i think i imported all messages and now it works as if nothing had happend.

    just an other question ;-)
    is it possible to resend a message? i wrote a message yesterday, in my bbs
    it is shown as "local sent" but if i look at your bbs it's not there.
    in the echomail/out folder is an file which contains a link to an other file but this file doesn't exist.

    That is strange, your packets will be compressed using ZIP and sent as a standard arcmail bundle.. it is strange that some were not decompressing but others were. They are all treated the same way at the HUB prior to being sent to you. Hmm

    OK, thanks for the heads up, perhaps just keep an eye on anything that seems amiss in the coming days and let me know if it continues.

    Yep

    is it possible to resend a message? i wrote a message yesterday, in my
    bbs it is shown as "local sent" but if i look at your bbs it's not there. in the echomail/out folder is an file which contains a link to an other file but this file doesn't exist.

    OK a couple of things. If there is a link file but the file it is linking to
    is not created then I suspect your compression ZIP is not installed. Check
    that it is, or even better to start with remove ZIP as your compression
    option when sending to 21:1/100 that will force it to send raw packets and
    you can confirm you are getting out. But then (and it's late as I type this)
    if there were a problem I would not be reading this post from you. Sigh :)

    You can edit a sent message from within the message editor. You can change
    the sent flag to no. And *i think* that will then set the message up to be exported again the next time your export function is called.

    i used the "Forward"-Function of the mystic-reader and re-forward the message to the same base. this sends the message again.
