Anyone here interested in offering this guy a Fidonet feed? Binkit would be doing the heavy lifting. My feed has been silent for 2 weeks now, and may be dead.

Any help would be appreciated.

You are welcome here if you like.

I have just returned and am in the process (complete now, I think) of getting fidonet moving here.

OK... you seem to have got caught in my peerblock. I've allowed your IP so we should be fine..

please post the output of your sbbsecho where it packed that message to the destination...
please post the output of your binkit log where it attempted to deliver the out
file...

the log for sbbsecho will generally be found in /sbbs/data/sbbsecho.log...
the log for binkit will generally be found in the same place as your other event/service/bbs log data...

what we're looking for is the paths that each uses and ensuring they are the same...

yeah, sounds like a classic permissions problem... to make things easy, i run everything as the same user and never use root... the BBS and mailer(s) are started when the system boots and then they drop privs to the normal user privs
after they have opened the necessary low range ports... since everything is running as the same user and the entire BBS directory tree is owned by that user, there's no problems...

IF, on the other hand, you are using (eg) var/spool/something for mailer transfers, that can cause problems that are a little harder to work around but can be done...

I start everything as the BBS user, which means using the "setcap" method to give sbbs permission to bind low ports as a non root user. This is documented on the Synchronet wiki "Running SBBS as a non root user" or similar.

I use binkp mailer sessions between my 2 BBSs on the same host, because it's the easiest way to get around permissions issues, since each BBS runs as a different user. Also, they started out on separate machines, so keeping binkp as the transport means minimal changes were eneded.

Well, if Net 322 is defunct (which I can verify it is), sending a netmail to NC322 won't work...

You didn't say where you're located, but it sounds like you need a Nodelist. You can get that here: http://fido-z1.darkrealms.ca/nodelist.htm

Thanks for the current nodelist, the one I had was from last year. I am located in Massachusetts. Looks like there is no net in MA any longer so I may need to reach out to the Region 16 coordinator.
