  • FSX_GEN offline?

    Its still a valid area.
    What response are you getting from areafix?

    Areafix says it rescans the area but nothing gets sent. I've wiped and recreated the area on the BBS to avoid duplications and made sure that the fsx_gen.* files were no longer on the file system.

    I'm about to make another attempt to rescan. I confirmed by %LST that FSX_GEN is the correct name, and that's what I've got set up, just all the other FSX_* areas that work just fine.

    Hopefully I'll get a response yet tonight.

    Check your dupe detection also. If these messages have been seen before they may be trapped as dupes. The log will say if that happens.

    Yes, FSX_GEN is correct.

    Well, the issue was that FSX_GEN somehow got skipped in my areas.bbs gneration, so the BBS had no way to know what area to put the messages in. I fixed that and now everything is flowing.

    Thanks for the suggestions, folks!

    Howdy,

    I'm about to make another attempt to rescan. I confirmed by %LST that FSX_GEN is the correct name, and that's what I've got set up, just all the other FSX_* areas that work just fine.

    If you look at your "Packets and Files Sent" on clrghouz, you'll be able to see what clrghouz has processd. And if you click on the packet name, you'll see the contents. (For echomail too, and for files click on the date).

    I dont see any netmails from your since last year so perhaps your netmails are not getting out.

    If you can give me specifics - from your binkp log, I'll be able to trace what clrghouz did to your mails (if they are getting to clrghouz). I need the specifics, the log is too big to find a needle in a haystack.

    Hey Deon, trying to finally get my FIDO echo's flowing but I get the following on Clearing Houz:

    No echoareas available for this system. AKA address security doesnt permit any echoareas.

    my Fido address is: 1:123/1256 per my AC.

    Were you 1:123/256 at some point? I had enabled that AKA for fidonet, but I see its been de-activated (probably by a nodelist import).

    I'll enable /1256.

    yeah /256 was my node before they reorganized net 123.
