  • MIS Poll Question

    From goto_kcm@21:1/218 to All on Wed Nov 20 07:21:33 2024
    Hey there.

    I have some questions regarding MIS poll functionality.

    1.) Is MIS poll also pulling new echomail from Hosts when using "./mis poll forced"?
    It seems that is is only sending echomail, not pulling it and i have to wait until the host polls my BBS.

    2.) How do i enable the DEBUG Connect Mode in MIS?
    I have problems connecting to a host, but the poll logfile only tells me rudimentary informations even if i set it to level 3. How do i enhance the output in the logfile?

    Thanks
    Andreas

    Hey there.

    Yes, mail should flow in both directions.

    It seems that is is only sending echomail, not pulling it and i have to wait until the host polls my BBS.

    Is there an error that you can see? If there is a password error for example, the remote won't send you mail.

    I don't think there is away aside from level 3. My BBBS is that way too, logging is sparse (even more so than mystic). If there are errors I have to compare logs with the remote node to figure things out.

    Howdy,

    Make sure you have an "authenticated" session. The remote wont give you mail if it doesnt authenticate you.

    It seems thatEchomail to 21:1/100 (fsxnet) only transfered to the HUB but new messages only arrive when the HUB is polling my BBS. Strange.

    I try to connect to a fidonet host from a friend. He doesn't see any connection infos from my side in his logs.

    Will try it further. :-)

    in the Poll logs there are no infos about that. Thats why i asked for more logging in poll.

    In ./mystic -cfg go to Servers -> Logging Options under 2:poll.log set the Log Level to Verbose or Max and then poll again.

    In mystic/logs/poll.log you'll now have a bunch more information.

    It sounds like you might either have no password or the incorrect BINKP password, or the remote host is expecting CRAM-MD5 and you have it set to No.

    Check these in Networking -> Echomail Nodes -> (node in question) -> 4:BINKP and check Password and CRAM-MD5 settings.

    If you can turn on debug mode, you should get a M_OK response back from the remote, sometimes with the text "secure", which means you are now in an authenticated session - this would follow your M_PWD message.

    If you dont get that, your unauthenticated, and the remote wont give you anything.
