Ever since I have been using IREX, I have had a problem with it holding all of the netmail. I have set Hold Netmail to NO, and I have set my route.rex as follows.
route-to 1:275/100 1:ALL 2:ALL 3:ALL 4:ALL 5:ALL 6:ALL
No matter what I do or change, it always holds Netmail. Any Ideas.

Can you be more specific, like define "it"?
If IREX is a Blinkley-FLO style mailer, do you have SBBSecho packetizing the outbound netmail?

In your route.rex, put crash-to 1:275/100

That didn't work. I looked in the docs, and I don't see any refrence to the crash-to statement. I'm gonna take the route-to statement out, and try it with the crash-to statement only, see if that helps. If not, I'm back to changing things in the config one at a time and seeing if anything changes. Thanks for the reply, and I'll let you know if I figure it out.
I've set the email program itself to Kill/Sent Crash
In your user configuration, do you have that node set to crash, and active?. You will need the route-to statement. I dont think that Rex has a crash-to statement. I dont have one, looking thru my old setup. (hard to do, in a windows 10 environment, Perhaps the ansi, or ascii, is not interpeted properly, but nothing lines up)

Yes, it's crash and active. I even tried immediate. I changed rex back to route-to, as nothing else worked.
Front Door works well, but you have to kludge it to make it work with
the internet.
Radius works well, but I can't run two instances of Radius on the same computer. I have 2 node numbers, on for GAP and one for sync.

Yes, it's crash and active. I even tried immediate. I changed rex back to route-to, as nothing else worked. I'm using echodor as my netmail program till I find something better or we work netmail into the bbs program. I'm not good at all with mailers, never have been.

Radius works well, but I can't run two instances of Radius on the same computer. I have 2 node numbers, on for GAP and one for sync. IREX was the only thing that worked well for everything, except for this hold issue. It's not a big deal for me not to send netmail, but it's there, and I want it to work. I do appreciate the help, and talking with you is helping. Thanks
you should be able to run more than one... configure them for separate ports and set their internal semaphores to be different on one so they don't interfer with the other... aside form that, ensuring that they have separate inbound and outbound directory structures should be easy... i forget the details and my last winwhatever box is now dead so i cannot look at my radius/taurus installation and see what the config file showed about those internal semaphores...
If you are using Synchronet, then Netmail is already built into it. There is no seperate netmail folder as such, but you can keep inbound, until you decide to delete, outbound is gone. I use binkd for my mailer. works well, and I think you can set it up for two differnt networks even

I tried running a seperate instance of radius, even made a new directory, and did everything seperatly, but it always was able to see the other one running.
As far as Frontdoor, the only way I can make it work is to use
NetSerial, unless you know of a version that will use IP addresses.
I know it's got to be something simple that will stop Irex from
holding mail, but I can't find it. I've read the docs from front to
rear and back again, and don't see anything, that I havn't already
tried.

No, this is my other system, my synchronet system works flawlessly, with no issues in netmail or anything else. This is for my GAP system, using echodor as my netmail reader. Netmail works fine on every network I belong to except fidonet. Fidonet netmail always get put on hold, and never goes anywhere. I've thought about binkd, but I'd rather use a mailer that is graphical in nature. Binkd is a behind the scenes type of mailer if I remember correctly.
that's because of those internal semaphores i spoke of previously... that's why i wrote that one of them needed to be changed but i can't tell you what the config options were for doing that because of that system not working any more... vista ate itself, finally...

NetSerial, unless you know of a version that will use IP addresses.
nope, that's how you do it... properly set up, frontdoor can also dial IPs and domains that it sees in the contact number field in the nodelist or one can work with manual overrides using environment variables but that gets twisted real quickly... my main system has been doing that for years, though, ever since FD started beta testing that capability and then released it to the public for use...
I run Binkd showing in a Dos window <G>. It's not graphical, but I see everyting it does. Are you running Windows, or Nix? Irex has a problem with NIX versions later then around the time it was written.

I've seen documentation of this on the interweb, but I can't find the actual version for download. I really want to try this version, so if
you have any info, filename, or a copy of it, please let me know. I
looked on definite solutions web site, and didn't see any reference to
an ip dialer.
I run windows 10 on the bbs machine. I'm running irex 2.29, but I may upgrade to 3.31 to see if it helps. I read the docs, and it didn't mention the problem I'm having in the upgrade info, but who know these days. It's worth a shot.

because it doesn't knot that that's what it is doing... it is just talking to the modem, physical or virtual... the last public release should do it... i would have to check my forum in the frontdoor area to see if the FAQ section has anything... i know that some of my stuff has been shared and used in the documentation ;)

Dont think there is much difference. It was a beta. I'm having a problem with formatting in the menus for Rex. Cant read a thing. No idea how to fix that. Happened after one update I believe.

I had to play with my window size settings withen the actual dos window to make it display properly. In my case with windows 10, the window size and actual collum size made all the difference in the world. I also had to use raster font withen the window for irex.

Thanks Mark. I'll join the FrontDoor echo and check it out.
I tried every window size setting available with no luck. There does not seem to be a setting for column size though

there's not much there in that echo, these days... when i said "forum" above, i meant my phpBB forum on my web site ;)

In the dos windows properties, there is a screen layout size, make sure that is set to 80x25. Are you using the dos version or the windows32 version of irex. I had to switch to the 32 bit version of windows irex to do right for me.

What? You couldn't run it using Synchronet and ECWebv4? :P

That is what it was set to originally, and yes I am using the windows
32 bit version, although it is not really a windows program
unfortunately

I tried 2.31, but went back to 2.29 myself.

Fair enough, but web forums still suck, I find them awkward and slow
to navigate.

i agree but i've found that i prefer the easy to use and understand
layout of phpBB than any other... i've also worked out a foolproof way
of reading the posts and never losing my place... judicious use of the [BACK] button as well as always opening links in another window... when i'm done with the link, i close the window and pick up where i left off
in the forum... read that topic, [BACK] to the "new posts" list, select the next one by using the link to the next post i haven't read and then read to the end... cycle and repeat ;)

Good to know. can you send me your route.rex file, so I can look at it. Thank

what do you mean by that? just because something doesn't have a painted graphical interface doesn't mean that it isn't a winwhatever program... it could easily be a console program... they look and act just like DOS programs for the most part... mainly without all the graphical overhead garbage...

This is how I start and run mine so it uses a dos window. It works for me, and I don't have a readability problem with it. Hope it helps. Of course this isn't for synchronet, but it should work just the same. Then use your between bat to process the mail.

I've been using Rex for at least 20 years :) Went thru several versions of Windoze and all worked flawlessly until some update last year in Windows 10.
OK, I was just trying to share what works for me in windows 10. OH,
BTW, I fixed my IREX problem. Netmail is now flowing. After reading
the manual againg for about the 50th time, it finally hit me. I added "unhold-mail 1:275/100 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:* 6:* 6:*" Basicly I took out the word ALL, and changed ALL to * and everything works. Must not like the word ALL like other mailers do.

I must have missed the ALL part. I dont however, recall an unhold-mail keyword in Irex. Did you change the Route-to as well ?
