Hi

I just hatched v0.8. This version has a number of bug fixes. Some in
postie, some in talisman.

Postie has now gained TIC processing ability. It seems to be working for
me with my end node, but it should also forward to any downlinks you have
too.

Postie TIC uses fileboxes rather than BSO or Netmail Attachments, though
you don't need fileboxes setup if you're just receiving TIC files.

There is no hatching ability yet, I'm hoping to get some people setup
with this new version who are on happynet so I can test hatching later.

You will need to add a tic password to your link configuration in
postie.toml, and also any fileareas as well. See updated postie
documentation on this.

Home and End keys now work in the fullscreen editor. End should now take
you to the last entry on the last page in the full screen reader, rather
than the first entry of the last page.

Also a fix for case insensitive echo area tags, thanks sneaky for finding
this bug.

There are some other fixes to, seenbys not being checked when forwarding
mail, and some others I've forgotten.

Oh, also OpenSSL and lua have both been updated in the windows version.

I'll get this updated and setup Monday. I'll also start to configure the
file areas.

Hi Apam

Also a fix for case insensitive echo area tags, thanks sneaky for
finding
this bug.

That fine pleased to help, but now I have the fsxnet network sorted,
how do I add another network say happynet. I now were to add the new
network Join area commands and nodelist be the same as fsxnet but it node
no for your happynet I am fine for mb_happy echos and postie settings
it my happly node unsure were to put I am thinkin mb-local ie general
aka I have "21:1/152.2" so if so how do I add another node no

aka "21:1/152.2" "happynetno"

or

aka "21:1/152.2"
aka "happlyetno"

Or were ?

Thank you for your help

No, a message base can only have one aka associated with it, so if you're
using mb-local for fsxnet then you would have 21:1/152.2 with it.

usually mb-local is for local message bases that aren't networked, so you wouldn't have an aka with them.

Unless I've misunderstood what you're asking?

Okay I will remove the 21:1/152.2 from mb-local as it just local not network

Unless I've misunderstood what you're asking?

No probable not, it the way I asked it,

what what I was trying to ask, but not very well, is
in mystic/sbbs there is echomail/network address to put my network address ie 21:1/152 in nodelist

and echomail nodes list 21:/1/100 avon

for if I want to join happlynet as well have fsxnet
or is what I am looking for is in postie.toml all done there, hope that
elps

also tic files and echo per postie how is that up as same as this or not

[[area]]
aka = "21:1/152.2"
file = "FSX_NODE"
tag = "FSX_NODE"
links = "21:1/152"

Etc.

Thank you for your help

P.S the question I sent you was via talisman/binkd/ and from my 21:1/152 hub to my hub (avon)
I was unsure if it got out to you but did and that great so all good so far

I think what you want to do is in postie.toml you have your links in
there and your addresses etc.

also tic files and echo per postie how is that up as same as this
or not

No, file areas are special and make up a filearea array (a little like
netmail areas are different from echomail areas.

For FSX_NODE, you might have

[[filearea]]
aka = "21:1/162.5"
database = "fb_fsx_node"
directory = "C:\\path\\to\\fsx\\node\\files"
tag = "FSX_NODE"
links = "21:1/162"


The database should be the same as configured in the file area toml file,
and the directory is where the files will be stored (best if it's the
same as in the file area toml)

links would probably be your boss node not paul if you're running as a
point.

Hope that helps.

You will need to add a tic password to your link configuration in postie.toml, and also any fileareas as well. See updated postie documentation on this.

I've configured the file areas (they are working and I imported all the descriptions). In postie [[link]] section I added ticpwd = "password"
also added:

[[filearea]]
aka = "21:1/130.22"
database = "fb_bbsfido"
directory = "c:/0edrive/file/fido"
tag = "fsx_info"
links = "21:1/100,21:1/130"

(Added apam's node and a link section for him so I can process the
tic files without putting them through ezycom first)

postie toss will toss the mail fine, but it ignore're the files that
are in the inbound directory.

Nothing is logged, nothing displayed on screen.

Any ideas?

./postie ticproc

In postie, a netmail area looks like this:

[[netarea]]
aka = "21:1/126.2"
file = "fsx_netmail"

and in your fsxnet conference file

[[messagearea]]
name = "Netmail Area"
file = "fsx_netmail"
read_sec_level = 10
write_sec_level = 10
aka = "21:1/126.2"
netmail = true

Hi apam

In postie, a netmail area looks like this:

ok

[[netarea]]
aka = "21:1/126.2"
file = "fsx_netmail"

yes now it is with my point node number

and in your fsxnet conference file

[[messagearea]]
name = "Netmail Area"
file = "fsx_netmail"
read_sec_level = 10
write_sec_level = 10
aka = "21:1/126.2"

same with this

I did do a test in netmail areafix@21:1/152 password in subject
with +list and saved it

ran postie scan it didn't create a pkt to send but the meassage was in fsx_netmail what have I done wrong

just asking per tic password, I hope I didn't ask that the wrong way
if I did I am sorry. I have to be more carefully how as question

and thank you for you help

Hi adam

per the postie ticproc, I think I got it, have processed 2 files anyway.
per password I took it out of the tic.pkt and didn't
complain about any thing

not sure if I was meant to do this but I ran
postie ticproc
then postie toss

or if I wasn't it worked any way
.

again thank you

Hmm, I forgot to mention the routing information in the postie.toml

Make sure you have a statement like this

[[route]]
aka = "21:1/152"
pattern = "21:*"

where 21:1/152 is your boss node.

just asking per tic password, I hope I didn't ask that the wrong way
if I did I am sorry. I have to be more carefully how as question

The tic password is set in the link section, so the link that is sending
you the tic files needs a field:

ticpwd = "YOURPASSWORD"

so for example, if it is 21:1/152

[[link]]
aka = "21:1/152"
ouraka = "21:1/152.2"
archiver = ".zip"
ticpwd = "YOURPASSWORD"

How long can the password be? Is it case sensitive?

that is alread there, might not be it the right area in postie.toml

As long as you need, and yes it is case sensitive.

Should it not be case sensitive?

It could be a bug. Could you send me your postie.toml and message areas
toml file so I can double check please? You can XXXX out the passwords if
you like :)

Sigh. I swear I was all over the docs trying to find out
if there was another command for postie. I'm probably losing
my mind at this point. ;)

Anyway just to let you know it works just fine. Also changed
some menus around yesterday. Starting to look like my BBS now.
