• Netmail to *

    Hey guys,

    Noticed I hadn't received any messages for a while so I did a manual Poll and discovered so "busy nodes", so I had to clear that all and do a poll.

    I noticed that I had some NetMail but when I tried to read it there wasn't
    any. I know somebody said before that it might be addressed to someone else,
    so I dug around in the logs. I found this entry today:

    + Apr 13 07:53:35 Netmail from (454:1/1) to * Origin: ILink: CFBBS ....

    If there is messages addressed to "*" how can I read these messages?

    This looks like one of the fucked up mails that floating around lately. I think
    it's addressed to " * Origin: ILink: CFBBS ...".

    Can you figure out from which node you received the mail?

    It sounds like a corrupted packet and I agree there's not much in the way you can changes things to view it, probably best to catch up the base as all read and move on.
