Hi g00r00,

It looks like awhile ago I accidentally deleted my node entry for my Micronet
uplink.

I didn't really notice this because inbound email from my uplink was still
working (even though they weren't setup as a node anymore) and anything I
posted to Micronet looked like it was still being tossed (I was seeing the
messages on my point), but wasn't making it out to the rest of the network.

When I went into a Micronet message base I saw:

Net Address | 618:500/23 (Micronet)
Export To | 2 node(s)

But going into "Export To" I saw:

### Description Address
----------------------------------------------
XXX UNKNOWN ID 3
2 NRTG Micro 618:500/23.2

My Micronet uplink is also my Fidonet uplink (Nick) so I'm wondering if that
could be why Micronet messages continued to flow inbound after I deleted that
uplink entry?

Jay

Yes that sounds right. When BINKP connects it will show all of your addresses
on your system (unless you tell it not to) and then other system (in this case
Nick) will likely send you all packets that are addressed to any of the
addresses your system presented.

This means you'd still get the mail coming in, but since the link was no longer
there it wasn't getting tossed out.

.... Everyone is entitled to my opinion!
