Oh, I misunderstood. Yes, a boss should forward mail destined for points (off a different boss). To debug the issue, I'd need to know more details, like the software (tosser and mailer) involved, relevant log entries, and maybe configuration snippets.

digital man

software on the point systems
on my system 201.1 I am using sbbs(pi) which tosses to my main node that runs mystic a45(pi) - then off to 1:340/400 who also runs sbbs v317 (2019)

what got me looking into this, is Rick Smith (1:340/202) was sending me netmail via his point 202.1 his main node is running mystic.. don't remember if its a45 or a46 his point has been a couple versions , the first was sbbs, now its husky

and both of us have found that we have to poll 1:340/400 with our points in order to receive responses.

I know on both 201 & 202 we both have routing enabled in mystic

But that is normal and expected. Points always (or at least, normally) *have* to poll their uplink to receive responses.

And the problem could be outside his control, since something between his boss and upstream could be involved. Yes, I agree, the mail should arrive at the boss, and should be waiting for the point to poll to pick it up.

Back in the day, I used to have a few points, and it all worked smoothly. I do have a point on Fidonet (it's my other BBS), but I haven't used it for netmail yet.

So is 1:340/400 not the boss node for both points? If it's not, then it sounds like it's not doing its job of forwarding mail to the other boss. But both points will have to poll their boss to get their mail. That part is normal.

points in order to receive responses.

this is due to a known and recently fixed defect in sbbsecho... 1:340/400 needs to update but it won't affect already packed netmails sitting in the BSO...

there's another defect being tracked down, as we speak... it affects the from address of packed netmails... as soon as the defect is identified and fixed, then everyone running sbbsecho will need to update to that fixed version, as well...

the problem is that 202.1 has to poll there, too... this is likely due to the crash bit and non-routing of crash messages... i say that based on the recent discovery and repair of that defect that i was seeing here... we've at least one more defect to track down and fix... i've sent you private email about it earlier this morning... i suspect you will have found it by the time you read this ;)

right 1:340/400 is the hub of both 1:340/201 & 202 - and we do poll our respected boss nodes ie 201.1 polls 201 and 202.1 polls 202 but the mail is at our hub (is also NC if I am not mistaken)

Thanks for the info, least now we know and I can give 1:340/400 a nudge to update :-)

And 340/400 is running SBBS/SBBSecho if I read your message right. If the problem is that crash bit, perhaps try sending withOUT including the crash attribute or ask 340/400 to upgrade to the latest SBBSecho available.

yes 340/400 is running sbbsecho

I did have crash bit turned on, I turned it off in scfg network and in sbbsecho for my boss .. will test some more :-)_
