I have a strange problem with the Fido conferences. I am apparently receiving the
incoming packets because they show in the c:\mystic\msgs folder and the file names
match the name exactly, but they don't appear when I try to read them. I have permissions to read them, so I have no idea on what the problem is.

Any ideas?

Are the incoming packets processed by mutil (imported into the message bases)? Does mutil.log say anything?

A typical response in the logs is:

- Apr 22 09:13:32 Execute Res: 0 Cmd: zip -qj9 c:\mystic\echomail\out\fidonet.003\fdbffc60.fr1 c:\mystic\temputil\0d4f9ca1.pkt 2>nul
+ Apr 22 09:13:32 Adding PKT to FLO (addr=3:712/1321 pkt=c:\mystic\echomail\out\fidonet.003\fdbffc60.fr1 flo=c:\mystic\echomail\out\fidonet.003\02c80529.clo)
+ Apr 22 09:13:32 Results: 0 echo, 1 net, 0 skipped in 0.30s

It really doesn't tell me much. I receive 3 other networks fine, but not Fido. The only
difference is: I have the Fido mail set to also transfer to my point node of 1:135/393.1
but I don't think this is causing the problem.

It worked fine until Terry Roati had to change his node number. Ever since then, it
stpped working. I DO have the new node number listed in my Importmai.ini file

The Netmail works though. I can see in the logs when it imprts and exports AREAFIX
and FILEFIX requests.

However those are the outbound packets, not the inbound ones, or?

You are correct. Originally I said I must be receiving incoming packets because of the
recent date stamp, but then I realized the newer date stamp is a result of the nightly
maintenance where it purges old messages and resets the time and date for each conference area. I used to get the feed before, so there were messages in every
conference area already.

It looks like I am not getting anything, so I will have to get with Terry to figure this out.

Thanks

Ah, yes, that's easy to get tricked by...

Sounds good! Keeping fingers crossed!

Got it working! Turns out that I didn't edit the mail.ini file to reflect the change in the hub's node number. I did a %RESCAN * and the messages came pouring in.

Now I can have a great weekend!

Myself, I've been editing events, moving some Mystic directories off the NAS and other stuff like that today. Time for some rest soon... :)
