Hello, Ian, Dave, jean-pierre and others interested in this topic.
Follow up to the interesting comments recently being made with regards
to SP packet mail forwarding. Here is my input to this discussion.
IMHO a lot of 'new' BBS's have appeared in recent years. Many have
closed down in the past twelve years leaving isolated systems.
I agree a lot of SP mail appears not to get through to the destination.
I like testing (I know i'm a sad persion) the SP forwarding network
by sending test SP messages out to target packet BBS's in different
bbs.state/county.country.continent.universe [smile]
Targeting the PING servers that run, support the Ping server. When
these ping server receive a ping a reply is sent back listing the
inbound path taken. The message reply contains the headers of the route
of the return journey.
Add a /ack
on the last line our your packet message,'should' generate an ack reply
messsage confirming that your SP post has reached it's destination.
I am not sure if the latest and greatest BPQ32 NODE/BBS software include
the Ping and ack servers. As I have not been getting any replies from
stattions that run this software. I know that the jnos BBS software
does not like these requests.
All the SysOp's should IMHO check for 'no route' and '*** PING-PONG ***'
system messages and fix their SP routing in their forward files. Liaise
with their partners and find out which state/county.country.continent
they forward to.
Studying the 'flood' bulletin message headers also show who is forwrding
direct to each other.
For those interested my ping server address for testing (including the
ACK message reply request) is
SP PING @ GB7CIP.#32.GBR.EU
subject test SP
message body any comment
/ack
I'll fix my end, If you fix yours [big_grin]
