No, I have later ones, e.g. messages in FSX_MYS from 7/29. Maybe you
will need to double-check that you are (still) subscribed to all echos?
Had two mis daemons running, something that still happens on Pi with A47.

Ah! How do you start MIS? I use a systemd service for mine, so it knows
if has already been started. I also let it call 'mis poll killbusy app'
on startup, which will remove semaphore files such as mutil.bsy, which
can otherwise stop any mail from being processed (at least for a certain amount of time).

I currently use the following info from this web site: https://vswitchzero.com/mystic-systemd/
to get things started. I've used it both on my PI3 using rasbian and
now on my laptop using ubuntu. Works great.
Had two mis daemons running, something that still happens on Pi with A47. I reset the BBS and no change. rebooted the machine and I couldn't logon! I finally killed mystic (sudo killall mis) and reinstalled the mystic programs (sudo ./install replace /mystic)
That seems to have fixed the problems. The Pi microSD cards tend to wear out and things get corrupted. This one has been running some years now, seeing how long I can run and fix it before I start over again with a
new microSD.

This is written so nicely; perfect, even - but the way I setup my Mystic
I can't run as r00t - and could never get this tweaked in a way that it booted as 'pi' and allowed all my mods and Python stuff to run.
For most, tho, this is a SOLID systemd script.

I ran 2o on a RPi 4 for 3 years and some change... one of the best
things I ever did was run from an SSD - it really sped things up and proved to be much more stable.
I'm not running as root. I run the starting scripts as root to get
started but maybe because I run the mis telnet server on port 2323, I don't have any issues.
Here's a link I found that helps with the telnet server port setup: https://github.com/KALRONG/mysticbbs/blob/master/mystic/docs/unix.install.
Look down to line 132.

I don't have a Pi4 yet and they seem to be unavailable right now, was looking for one. My BBS is running on a Pi3 off the microSD. I can
always have the microSD point to the SSD to boot the BBS. Right now I
boot the really old Unix 5 way using rc.local to kick it off. I have a
Pi 2 and a couple of Pi 3. My oldest Pi booted from SD and wasn't staple for more then 6 months at a time. After a year and some I gave up on
that. The microSD can last a year or more and generally reloaded a
number of times before putting in a new one.
Right on - can the Pi 3 not yet boot via USB? I thought they all caught
up to that noise... I keep mentioning to anyone in need, I have a few Pi 4s... not that I want to get rid of any, but if anyone REALLY needs one just lemme know...

I don't know if the Pi 3 can boot from USB, I know it would take a re-written boot. I just moved a 12T USB drive over to one of the Pi 3 units, but it has no way in from the outside. Comcast/Xfinity has
shutdown all control over that with a very limited 'app'. I can't even
see everything on my network with it. Want to move to a Pi4 for 3.0 USB
to that 12T. In the long run I may replace a desktop or two with the 8G Pi4 (which can still be bought at $170 or so).
Yes the Pi3 can boot from USB. It was only the initial release of the Pi4 that couldn't, but that has now been made to also work.
