  • Where are the emails going?

    From Alpha@1:103/705 to All on Mon Apr 19 23:24:40 2021
    Hey there. I am trying to triage a problem where Synchronet alerts me (on logon) that I have received email, but when I go to read it (E) > (R) there's actually no email there.

    In this particular case, it's an AreaFix response.

    Any thought starters?


    thanks!

    Use the ;mail sysop command or the 'smbutil' utility (i.e. "smbutil r /sbbs/data/mail") to read the mail base and see if maybe it was delivered to a different mail box?
