  • Bad packets

    From deon@21:2/116 to jcs on Thu Mar 16 11:10:37 2023
    Hey Joshua,

    Your system is sending me bad packets - most look like netmails to areafix.

    Today at 9:23 (about 100 mins ago), your system sent me m1ff001d.pkt

    7 09:23:37 pkt: /fido/mailer/in/m1ff001d.tos [21:3/177]
    1 09:23:37 Netmail: To the HUB address [21:3/100] (To:areafix <- From:jcs).
    8 09:23:37 areafix: FSX_GEN rescanned 30 mails to 21:3/177
    1 09:23:38 filter.pl: on_robotmsg [areafix]
    L 09:23:38 Wrote Netmail: 21:3/100.0 -> 21:3/177.0
    8 09:23:38 areafix: Successfully done for 21:3/177
    A 09:23:38 There are 7 bytes of unknown data at the end of pkt file!
    1 09:23:38 filter.pl: pkt_done
    A 09:23:38 Renaming pkt/arc to .bad

    The issue with the packet is that there was 7 bytes of unknown data at the end...

    000000c0 2e 30 0d 25 52 45 53 43 41 4e 20 46 53 58 5f 47 |.0.%RESCAN FSX_G| 000000d0 45 4e 20 33 30 00 0d 0d 2d 2d 2d 20 0d 00 00 |EN 30...--- ...|

    The packet should finish with 0x00 0x00 (as it does), and each message is terminated with 0x00 - so I'm not sure why your packets are including:

    0d 0d 2d 2d 2d 20 0d

    before the end of packet marker 0x00 0x00?

    Also your packets received here at dated 1 Jan 1970:

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 223 Jan 1 1970 m1ff001d.bad

    You might want to look at that too.
