Hello everybody.

I am setting up a system with Crashmail/JamNNTPD to run under Linux. All went well, I can toss messages into the system, but when I try to scan for messages to export I get the following error message:

^ 16-Dec-16 14:10:09 Scanning all areas for messages to export
! 16-Dec-16 14:10:09 Failed to read message #231 in JAM messagebase "/home/flbessa/fido/echo/BR_BBSING"

Any ideas? I can see the messages over JAMNNTPD.

You don't mention which distroy and the bitness... BUT...

That is exactly the issue I had... on Kubuntu 14.04.5 *64b*

CM II is/was written with only a - > *32b* < - world in mind..

What you need to do is,

Download this:

eljaco.se/FILES/Billing/cm071linux.zip

Then unzip it

In there will be a bin/ directory

@fidodev:~/cmzip$ unzip -l cm071linux\(1\).zip

15768 2004-07-10 08:56 crashmail-0.71/bin/crashgetnode

This will have precompiled versions of the CM II 0.71 version.

These WILL RUN on *64b* systems and export messages, and not corrupt the message base.

Do NOT use the versions in the *buntu repos... they are useless, and suffer the
same bitness problems.

They will compile on 64b systems, and then totally fail and corrupt things when
run.

DO the above, and still have issues, please let me know..

I will be glad to help and provide info.

I am using CMII 0.71 and JamNNTPd on Ubuntu 14.04.5

What distro and bitness is this?? I see CM II 1.5, so I am guessing instead that you chose to move to a 32b distro versus the older 0.71 version?

Can't fix that, as your date is wrong. :p ;) :) ;) ;)

Glad its working, but if you could provide what you did ...

Distro? Release and version?

Change distro bitness?

Or something else?

I ask since your using the CM II 1.5 version, and I would like to add to the KB
for others in the future...

Even playing with some things on that CM II 1.5 version which should resolve this, on 64b systems, it still doesn't there is still a sneak 64 v.32b issue in
there some where.

But the 0.71 version resolved it....

Did you use the previous install of a DEB or repo version????

ie: did you at some point do sudo apt-get install crashmail?

When you run this version you should get something like this:

:~/cmzip/crashmail-0.71/bin$ ./crashmail VERSION
This is CrashMail II version 0.71

Operating system: Linux
Compilation date: Jul 10 2004
Compilation time: 14:56:38

Available messagebase formats:
MSG Standard *.msg messagebase as specified in FTS-1
JAM JAM Messagebase

Available nodelist formats:
CMNL CrashMail nodelist index
V7+ Version 7+ format
r@fidodev:~/cmzip/crashmail-0.71/bin$


I only ask this as you out put shows CM II 1.5 in the message...

When you run it if you have an apt version installed if you run it like so:

crashmail the system will find that version first and run it...

./crashmail as you see above will make it run the version in the directory where ever you have it.

If you got 1.5 to run on a 64b thats interesting

lbessa@ubuntu:~/files$ sudo crashmail SETTINGS /etc/crashmail.prefs NOSECURITY TOSS
#
CrashMail II 1.5 started successfully! #
Packets will be tossed without security checks #
Tossing files in /var/spool/ftn/inb...

CM II 1.5 will TOSS pkts , but will NOT export message from JAM... on 64b systems... MSG format on 64b is fine...

JAM uses 32b binary data in parts of its header and when its compiled on 64b it
becomes 64b wide, which breaks things massively.

Even doing a compile with -m32 doesn't solve it... as there still is something sneaking in 64b stuff when I only want 32b var, just have not found it yet..

Do a:

sudo apt-get purge crashmail

Then in the directory with the files you downloaded

to run them prefix it with ./

ie: ./crashmail

You could do something else but for now... just run it with ./ and then we can look at making work like an apt installed versions.

Well, all I can say that if you get the original Johan package from eljaco.se, this is what it looks like on an XP system (the command obviously is
'version'):
