• Missing messages on Hub 3

    From Alterego@21:2/116 to Avon on Wed Jan 1 11:01:40 2020
    I think we are loosing messages - Oli alerted me to some discrepancies that he is seeing via Hub 1 and Hub 3.

    With that, I've done a comparision of what is on Hub 3, with what I have at 2/116 (thereby possibly including Hub 2 as an issue) - this is what I see.

    Using the "stats" message as a base:
    Sender fsxNet HUB

    Subject fsxNet Weekly fsx_mys
    X-FTN-AREA FSX_MYS
    X-FTN-TID Mystic BBS 1.12 A43

    when_imported 5E088687 9258 Sun Dec 29 2019 09:57 pm AEDT

    Since receving this message from Hub 1 - on 2/116, I see 9 additional messages posted in FSX_MYS:

    However, on Hub 3: I only see 4:

    The one I used to identify the messing messages was a message from Tony to Phoobar:

    On 2/116, I have this message and the original 2a05b891 - however, on Hub 3 I do not have 2a05b891.

    I see this message arrive there...

    So if I understand this correctly, it was created in NET 2 by a NET 2 node,
    and sent from 2/100 on to your 2/xxx address but seemingly not sent to 3/100 via 1/100?

    I'll check to see if I can find the message here at 1/100 and also look at 2/100

    Can you post the message body copy also so I can cross reference please.

    Let me know if I have misunderstood anything.

    Actually, I thought Hub 2 was sending directly to the other Hubs 1/3/4 - but yes, it didnt do that, nor did I receive it from another hub.

    With all the trouble I've been having with the little things which ha
    bit me...may just do a readme or something like it for noobs to cover all their bases.
    You might be the perfect person to write that, from your experiences. :)

    May attempt to get it going at the end of the week. This one is my long week with next week my short one.

    I had a bunch of bad packets, and some packets lots in a deep directory which I
    forced them to be tossed - a side affect of the Hub 2 configuration with Hub 3.

    Hopefully should be good now...

    I can see the packet arrive at 1/100 and in the SEEN-BY there 3/100 appears
    so 1/100 would not have tossed it onwards to you. I expect (but have not checked) the same to be the case for 4/100

    So yeah, looks like packets were being sent by 2/100 to 3/100 in this
    instance.

    [time passes]

    For the benefit of those following along Deon and I nutted out that a rule at 3/100 was ensuring those 2/100 packets were not being tossed at 3/100 but he has changed things now.

    But we also opted to remove 2/100 from feeding 3/100 for now so all packets
    to 3/100 will come to it via 1/100 or 4/100 at this time.

    Netmail sent from NET 2 for NET 3 will be routed via NET 1 then sent onwards
    :)
