All (and most likely DM),

I noticed a handful of VERT.QWKxxxxxx.bad files in my DATA directory,
I'm guessing there was a problem importing the packets. I can open them
up in 7-zip and it looks like a valid packet. If I try renaming the file
to vert.qwk and opening one of the .bad files in MultiMail, I get a
"packet type not recognized" error, although I can open other .zip
formatted .QWK files.

It looks like I've got zip 2.31/unzip 5.52 in my path.

Is there a way to re-import the files, so I can see if I get any error
messages on import?

.... Don't avoid what is easy

Yes, just renaming the file to VERT.QWK should trigger an import attempt (in the terminal server event thread).

If you can search through older log messages, you should also be able to find the original errors that triggered the renaming to *.bad in the first place.

Thanks, I saw this when I tried re-importing:

1/28 09:54:31a QNET !Message from VERT on UNKNOWN QWK CONFERENCE
NUMBER: 2022

1/28 09:54:31a QNET C:\sbbs\data\VERT.qwk renamed to
C:\sbbs\data\VERT.qwk.65b694d7.bad

(There were some other errors about duplicate messages as well)

The weird thing was that when I added TECH_TALK to the BBS, I'd noticed
that my DOVE boards were set to dynamic numbers, and I have a message
area 2022 configured as TECH_TALK.

I just tried deleting the area and re-creating it as a static QWK area #
2022 and got the same error.

That's correct. Only QWKnet *hubs* should enable static QWK conference numbering.

That conference number (2022) needs to be configured for a QWKhub in SCFG->Networks->QWK->Hubs->VERT->Sub-boards.
