Hey folks,

I've pretty much left Hub 3 on autopilot for the past few months and today thought I'd check up and see how it was going.

There were a bunch of packets that were not processed - most from my fido feed, seems hpt just forwards bad packets, but some packets were those outlier packets that clrghouz couldnt handle (missing "body", missing "subjects", some where missing "to", etc) so I did some updates to clrghouz to process those.

As a result, some of you might have got a bunch of old messages today and/or your BBS might have rejected them because they were old.

Just thought I'd let everybody know.

Howdy,

I'm aware that there is a problem happening on Hub 3 at the moment.

I'm trying to track down a strange looping bug, that I havent been able to trigger, and as a result it looks like I've broken more than I've fixed at this stage.

I know some mail is flowing, but for some systems (including my BBS), mail transfers are starting but not completing.

I'll work on it more tonight and hopefully I'll be able to track this one down.

You might see some extra polling to the affected systems, as I turn up debugging to trace what is going on... :)
