Hello All,

Did all the posts cease or is it just me?

Also, if Mr. Wiberg would care to post something so I can see if I'm getting them now.. I'd appreciated it!

It does seem quite but Bjorn posted 2 days ago.

Also, if Mr. Wiberg would care to post something so I can see if I'm getting them now.. I'd appreciated it!

I hope you'll see his posts from now on.. :)

Strangely, I never got the message in which you wrote that (MSGID 6258a461), only Al's reply to you. So maybe it's both ways now. :-O

Not sure what to tell you. Anything I write should leave here to all links at roughly the same time. Does the order of callouts have anything to do with how you list nodes in binkd.conf? If so, my list starts with 1: and 2: is further down the list in numerical order. Otherwise, who knows.

It of course depends on in what order your tosser presents the files to binkd. But besides that it should handle most of the outgoing mail in parallel, unless you have your maxclients set to a low value...

But your log should be able to tell you what happend (if you're interested enough ;-))...

Besides what is already out in the open, the other things I can think of is (1) an issue that I'm in the process of resolving is that 301/1 connects here about 1500 times per day, and roughly 1450 of them are failed connections.. This I can't really do anything about until I get a response, and (2) with over 100 links, if 1 or more of them are down and maxclients is set to a low number, it delays as long as it takes for the connection to timeout - which can also hold things up quite a bit. Every once in awhile I look into this and remove dead or unresponsive links. What else more can I say?

I don't remember why I originally set my maxclients to a lower value, but something not happening the way I wanted it to in the past made me do it. That said, I've raised it for now to see if it makes things faster. However, if I start having other issues because of it.. 4 minutes in transit is still better than a week or more via snail mail. ;)

Nick

He should be able to now. If I receive it here it gets sent on to him. Problem was I wasn't receiving anything from you here - which I'm still trying to wrap my head around. All I did was disable this echo from 203/0 and your messages are now arriving here, and it seems like that is where you're sending your mail off to as well (201/0 then goes to 203/0). Not sure if my node was being stuffed into the seenbys by accident or not - or if there was some kind of circular path thing going on via his system(s), but at least we got it figured out.

Regards,
Nick

This sounds like a very plausible cause for what I've seen happening.

Indeed... I just found it odd. In the end it doesn't really matter if mail comes in via another longer route, as long as it comes in... ;-)

No I haven't been sorry about that. I haven't done anything Mystic related in a few weeks because I've been so busy with other things :(

I'll get in there and read it soon!
