I'm wanting to get some feed-back from other ops that are also running mystic 1.12_a35 mis2 binkp that have other systems polling them using irex. Here on survnet I've check the log and have found 3 systems. Tiny's bbs, Redmud
Castle bbs and Bufkin Ridge Ranch, Michael Deig. They all have been doing
mail with my system for some time now. But since I've moved away from mis and moved to mis2 binkp. My logs have been showing session timeout. Can you or
any other mystic systems (retronet maybe) verify that any irex mailers are having issues connecting and processing mail with mis2 binkp server?

At this stage the only MIS2 BinkP I have enabled is IPv6 but the IPv4 remains on MIS. I can check the BinkP logs for MIS2 and let you know if I spot anything.

I'm not sure when the optimum time to move to MIS2 for everything is as I'm aware g00r00 is not developing MIS now.Ideally I would like to move across
once MIS2 contains the events system.

Understood, I like and perfer using the MIS2. It neet when the different server/host name alway pops to the top of the WFC deamon. Make it easy to see all the hits in the order they arive. The log is smaller and more logical for me to scan/read also.

I've been tastmanger events and seens to work smooth enough to process mail for

several days now.. I really don't mine telling all irex systems to just keep polling until the damn brakes .. or switch to a different mailer. There is probably other options... just not that interested in messing with again.

I understand :)

I checked MIS2 logs and they don't seem to offer a lot of info like the MIS logs do with respect to the type of mailer calling in etc. But there is
nothing there that I can see to suggest an Irex system is calling in unsuccessfully. I think it more likely no IPv6 system is connecting to MIS2

In MIS I see a node connecting using Irex and without issue

So I know people have tested out IPv6 with you and you can't really have the same port on the same transport at the same time. I remember mis was IPv4
only, so your Adapter Type is IPV6 on the same port (24556) as your IPv4? Or are you using IPV6 with a Global inet6 address? Or does it just work as long
as the protocols aren't the same where it would collide and nothing would
work. Was thinking of setting it up to do IPv6 as long as it's there, but not sure what it will take in Adapter Type, IPV4 Adapter, IPV6 Adapter & Port.
I take it Force CRAM-MD5 should be Yes and perhaps Allow UnSecure as well.
I'm also guessing inet6 addr: 2601:191:8401:eaf0:ba27:ebff:febd:d9af/128 Scope:Global is where the real connection is and the /64 is more to sync up with the local IPv4 link on my end.

PS. noticed in dmesg TCP: request_sock_TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 23. Ya, no kidding they are tying up 4 ports of 8 now ;(
That's with iptables blocking China & Russia.

...The more things change, the more confusing they are ;)

Yes with a MIS2 log it is harder to tell that a Irex system has connected, but if your know the node of the Irex user.. can still tell what the query # of file that mystic wants to send the node connection. I'd also say it is likely no IPv6 systems that are Irex. Shawn (Tiny) uses Irex, but I think it is only used with his Ezycom posting (Not sure really).

I also get other Irex systems in MIS that is the same here, it's the parts of the log after what your showing above that I'm interested in when it actually shows the Query - # if waiting files+tic for the nodes main/aka's and how many of them really get's transfered successfully, that I'm interested in seeing?

Over here if the Number of files waiting Query - # files are many of them. I alway see the first file transfer good (1 rec) and all other files after that fail (becuse the secession timesout). On the box running Irex the inbound with shows the first file (1 rec) good file size, then the 2nd that was in the Query

when the secession Timeout happened is (0-bytes) so, it failed. Hence, what I'm

seeing here when an iREX system polls mystic MIS (now and in the past) whatever

version it is. Just one file transfer successful per connection.

What I'm seeing with Irex systems polling MIS2 IPV4 is the connection and the file transfer (locking-up) hanging or in other words frozen. I'm thinking about

maybe trying to setup a Irex on a different binkp port and tell all the Irex to

poll that port. Was first interested I hearing from other larger networks like you and anyone really, about their findings when it comes to Irex and successful transfers on multiple files.

I'm about to find out, just added a new node to VKRadio that's running IRex.

Correct, right now it's still my main echomail transport, but it is on
the ezycom all dos setup, so there is no such thing as ipv6 on that box.

I am working on ipv6 on my raspberry box, but like I say every summer
I'll spend more time trying to get it working in the winter and never
do. :)

Irex is pretty old and pretty buggy... I should get rid of it, and I will
one day.

Thanks for the reply, please keep me in the loop on this issue dealing the multiple file transfers and IRex mailers. Because I only know what I see here happening. Know else has actually show me a log showing any multiple file treansfers with a Irex mailer yet. What I'm seeing is sure they connect and pass AUTH but they have all shown a session timeout after the first file is transfered.

Yeah, It been over a year now since dropping the use of iREX on my main system. I guess the issue of it transfering one file successful per connection with Mystic MIS is worth something and it works that much. Real glad that I finally got rid of using it. I've been wanting but a ARM device or a resberry pi lately

but there is anyways something else for me to spend my money on. Right now I've

been buying over priced Lumber and builting a nice new porch deck and making home made Apple butter... (: yummy

OK, hopefully you didn't attempt to connect while I was offline (due to unexpected Internet issues). All has been good for the past 3.5-4 hours now. :) The whole Internet situation has been strange here over the past 24 hours. At 11:30 (roughly), a local issue occurred that caused huge latency and slow data rates, with speeds probably around 1Mbps at best and ping times of 2-3 seconds. This affected the whole area.

Around 5PM, the VDSL modem suddenly dropped out and didn't come back. I did notice (using the phone to check) that the original advisory has been resolved (hmmmm), later last night, but decided to leave things alone. Checked this morning, still no sync. Phoned the ISP first thing, went through a heap of troubleshooting (in addition to what I had done), and were doing the last tests - swapping the cable between the modem and the line, and changing from Annex B to Annex A on the DSL line. I didn't expect either of these changes to have any effect, and we were just about to wrap up the call with a ticket to the NBN infrastructure provider when I noticed that the modem had synced. Speed was a bit slow, so I swapped the cable back to the original one (much shorter). After another long wait for training, the system came back up at normal speed. Seems the local VDSL node prefers Annex A. The ISP normally recommends Annex B, but the other end is supposed to be able to work with either. Anyway, seems Annex A is the go for me. Has been rock stable since. :)

and if I can I may remove the points and see if I can break stuff

Love these things. Running 3 of them for various tasks now.

been buying over priced Lumber and builting a nice new porch deck and

I need to re do the deck next year at the trailer, it's starting to
crumble into a giant mess. You are right about the price of lumber being
over priced now though.

making home made Apple butter... (: yumm

Very nice! My wife loves that stuff. I get it from a old family
friend right now due to lack of time. However, this year I'm attempting
cider from scratch (as we speak) due to getting a whole shit ton of
apples from another friend that are a bit on the sour side. (Should make
great cider - or I will go blind... let you know)
