• postie error

    From Dumas Walker@21:1/175 to apam on Mon Dec 18 10:08:58 2023
    apam,
    Apparently, postie has an issue when the FTN directory is on a different device than the temp directory. At least, that is how I am reading this error:

    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::filesystem::__cxx11::filesystem_error'
    what(): filesystem error: cannot rename: Invalid cross-device link [temp/postie-16020/6f4eb009.pkt] [FTN/packets/6f4eb009.pkt.bad]
    Aborted

    Also, this appears to be the result of a "packet from unknown link in secure inbound." The packet in question is a routed netmail that came from my fsxnet hub (which means it went in secure) but postie is then treating it as an issue because the netmail is from an fsxnet system other than my hub (making it unknown to postie).

    Ok, I'll fix this soon.

    Also, this appears to be the result of a "packet from unknown link in secure inbound." The packet in question is a routed netmail that came from my fsxnet
    hub (which means it went in secure) but postie is then treating it as an issue
    because the netmail is from an fsxnet system other than my hub (making it unknown to postie).

    fidonet packets have a packet origin as well as a message origin (for each message in the packet) the packet origin should be the system that sent the packet (ie, the link) where the message origin is the system that the netmail originated.

    Something else is going on here, can you send me a packet like the one that got rejected so I can look at it?

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    Hi Dumas,

    inbound." The packet in question is a routed netmail that came from
    my fsxnet [Bhub (which means it went in secure) but postie is then
    treating it as an issue because the netmail is from an fsxnet system
    other than my hub (making it unknown to postie).

    Hummm. I received a Netmail from andrew the other day, and my postie
    dosn't know anything about his system... It worked fine.

    apam -> avon -> my bos/hub -> this point.

    I will be sure to capture it the next time it happens. The packet in
    question appeared garbled so I just deleted it to get the rest of the
    4/100 log jam cleared. ;)

    On closer inspection, the packet was also garbled so maybe it was an
    issue on their end. That is the first, and only, time I have run into
    that so far.

    Postie in the past was having issues with packets from an Atari system
    running ratsoft. Apam put a fix in pretty quickly for that one, so
    perhaps capture the packet(s) and send them to him.

    Yes, it's on this network... I can't remember the name of the system.
