The above is already being tested. We found that although the
packet name at least was created, (archived), when the connections
were made, the mail went to the one system, and tried to send to the
other, but file not found.
Were there not two separate PKT's created for each node? Why not remove archieving from the equation and just create a .*lo file as well and check your binkd logs.
I tried that, resulting in an over abundance of .pkt files sitting in the outbound. Some of my nodes only collect mail maybe once a week or less, and that becomes a problem in my mind at least <G>. When packets are created, it seems that they mostly go to the master outbound folder, with the .lo files mostly going to the proper areas (i.e. outbound.002), but not always
OK.... that's fair. One other thing, could you post from echocfg your "Toggle Options"? If I can remember correctly, you had Fuzzy Zone disabled. I've always had that enabled and have no issue.
Fuzzy Zone operations effect NetMail only, not EchoMail.
One thing I did find in my logs...
2016-01-04 14:12:24 ERROR line 1836 renaming c:\fd\outbound\04141202.pk_ to c:\fd\outbound\04141202.pkt
Interesting. Is this a one time occurrence or have you seen this error before? Is it possible there were 2 instance of SBBSecho running at this time (e.g. one spawned by Synchronet timed event and another spawned by another means)? I don't really have another explanation for that at this time, but it certainly should not happen.
OK... that is quite possible. Naturally I run fidoin when I get something from my uplink and then it processes it to downlinks but I also have a timed event fidoout running every 10 minutes for netmail to be processed. There could be an overlap. Interesting...
When you say you "run fidoin", does that mean you trigger the timed
event by touching a semaphore file or you're running SBBSecho
externally somehow?
The normal/best way to run SBBSecho (for both import and export) is
*only* from the Synchronet event thread. This will insure that there is only one instance of SBBSecho running at a time and avoid race
conditions that could cause the kind of error you reported.

hmmm, you run fidonin way more then I do, mine is set at every 15 mins
(96 times a day), I figure as a fidonet hub boss, my net (league 10), whispernet hub, (was another net hub) every 15 mins would be enought

I think we're good now. If you see another problem, let me know, and as usual, the log snippets usually help.
I'm not certain yet. Had a problem today. Could not toss mail in or
out due to a node being locked with a .bsy file. Finally cleared that.
Had to shut down binkd to remove the .bsy files, and then most mail
went out, and inbound got imported. I'll keep an eye on it.
I have another question that may seem silly. As RC I get netmails from the NCs and the ZC, from Makenl. Those are addressed to Coordinator at either my 303 address or my 12/0 address. I have all my node numbers
as AKA, and while I would have to check to be certain right now, I'm pretty sure that I have coordinator as an aka as well. None of these
are imported, so I do not see those netmails, other then with another
old reader. Is there anything special I have to do to get those
imported?
