• Mystic TIC file processing

    Hi g00r00,

    With the current issues with the SSL/TLS enabled between hubs, I noticed something interesting.

    While hub 4, which I run here, was connecting to Paul's system, hub 1, Mystic would transfer any message first, then transfer .tic files, and then the corresponding .zip files. (at least in our case...) While my system was receiving the large .zip file, mis ran the inbound mail processing event,
    which includes inbound files processing.

    Mystic tried processing the .tic file, and discarded it as a 'bad file', as
    the .zip file was not complete. It then deleted the .tic file. Once the file completes, Mystic will be unable to toss the file, as it already tried and failed earlier.

    Is there a way to have mutil not process .tic files while nodes are busy,
    just as it doesn't try tossing incoming mail?

    Keep in mind, this is not an urgent issue, and can wait until other things
    are taken care of. I just happened to notice it, and wanted to let you know before I forgot... :)

    Thanks,

    Yes this is a known issue that TIC processing does not check to see if the
    node is currently sending mail.
