• bad msgs

    From Rick Smith@21:1/190 to All on Tue Jul 20 18:42:00 2021
    Greetings All!


    Does anyone know what would cause a hub to be sending me bad msgs origin fsxnet but not from the right place... Ie when fsxnet started the new echos I now get 20 or so bad msgs a day from the new fsxnet echos but they are coming from my dorenet hub? I have asked him about it but doesnt seem to be getting solved.. anyone else have trouble when the new fsxnet echos came on?

    That looks like a problem at your dorenet hub.

    If you do a %list or %linked areafix request to that node are the areas listed? If they are you might be able to remove the areas that way.

    If you can check the path of the messages that are coming in as bad/dupes... that will confirm their source. I'm guessing for some reason the dorenet hub may be feeding your these echos too? which they should not be.

    I agree with Al if you can get a %list command to your HUB(s) to confirm what you are linked to then delink from what you don't want from whom.

    Let me know how you get on and I'll help you sort it.

    Al your genius I didnt think of doing that! I was just trying to get him to fix it... Sure enough for some reason he had my node subscribed to FSXNET echos... I unsubscribed we will see...

    Thanks again..

    Al's suggestion worked.. He indeed had me subscribed to your echo's for some reason... Thanks for the help!

    Good news. I agree that's strange he should be feeding you those..

    BBSes have ways of sending different backbone information to different
    nodes. I'm hubbing for Fido and an othernet and have run into situations
    where someone requesting %ALL ended up getting all of the echoes in my
    areas file. It took some options tweaking to make it work correctly.

    aha, yep it could be a case of how a link is defined in terms of group(s) of access it has to networks etc. But it does seem strange that in this case it sounds like it's a different Zone othernet feeding Z21 traffic out. I could well have interpreted this wrong :)
