Greetings Avon!


So we were testing point netmail routed through you this morning and discovered
a couple of things.. Well 1 we didnt retrieve the routed netmail to the point from 100.. But I watched my MIS and can see 100 connecting and polling me as usual and sending mail. However if I have my system poll you I get a "authorization failed" each and every time even if you had just polled me a moment before?

So I decided to poll you from my point setup to see if your system was holding the netmail sent to my point.. and I get this error when polling you from my 21:1/190.1 setup..

08:14 [1830] called 21:1/100@fsxnet, but remote has no such AKA
08:14 [1830] done (to 21:1/100@fsxnet, failed, S/R: 0/0 (0/0 bytes))

Hi :)

So we were testing point netmail routed through you this morning and discovered a couple of things.. Well 1 we didnt retrieve the routed netmail to the point from 100.. But I watched my MIS and can see 100 connecting and polling me as usual and sending mail. However if I have
my system poll you I get a "authorization failed" each and every time
even if you had just polled me a moment before?

so which BBS and what fsxNet address are you sending that you say fails to poll the 1/100 HUB successfully? If you can share your polling log then I can
check against mine.

So I decided to poll you from my point setup to see if your system was holding the netmail sent to my point.. and I get this error when polling you from my 21:1/190.1 setup..

08:14 [1830] called 21:1/100@fsxnet, but remote has no such AKA
08:14 [1830] done (to 21:1/100@fsxnet, failed, S/R: 0/0 (0/0 bytes))

I'm having problems trying to find the session in my rather large logs so
more info on date/time in your polling logs would be helpful thanks.

Clearly the 1/100 HUB won't know your point system as it's not set up as a known echomail node at 1/100 but the HUB would still allow for an unsecure connection to pass netmail.

I can confirm routing rules are in place here such that if netmail is sent to
a point address from your node number e.g. 21:1/190.x then those netmails are set to route to you 1/190 address

So I get auth failed on my BBS (Abacus BBS) when polling you? I have verified my password is correct
as I have made no changes on my end.. well that I know of anyhow.. :-)
