|
When editing a new message area, and the area was made active,

|

|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
In AreaMgr and FileMgr changed aka matching for area
|
|
connections. Code cleanups.
|
|
In FileMgr when %tick=on/off command was received, mbfido
|
|
crashed.
|
|
Implemented auto area create comparing a new received echo
|
|
from a uplink which has a echomail taglist in one of the
|
|
mailgroups defined. The area is created with the defaults
|
|
from the mailgroup.
|
|
If mbfido fails to unzip a incoming mailarchive, a second
|
|
attempt is done after a sync() and one second delay. This
|
|
seems to be a kernel flush problem.
|
|
The same goes for adding .pkt files to the outbound, a second
|
|
try is done after a sync() to add the .pkt to the archive.
|
|
In the To field of a created TIC file there is now a comma
|
|
between the sysop name and fidonet aka.

When creating a filefind netmail reply there was no

|
destination address.

|
|
Changed logging when AreaMgr/FileMgr commands did fail.
|
|
Some checks improved and fixed some potential sigsegv crashes.
|
|
Reduced aka match level for (dis)connect areas to zone, net.
|
|
This should fix problems on systems with multiple aka's when
|
|
the first aka is not the aka in the areas.
|
|
In mgr result reports, lines with connected areas do now also
|
|
display the aka to which they are connected.
|
|
The file forward function now always puts a 8.3 filename in
|
|
the outgoing ticfile. For most files nothing is changed.
|
|
AreaMgr and FileMgr netmails are now split into more netmails
|
|
when the become too large.
|
|
When a downlink requests an echomail area which is not yet
|
|
available, and there is a areas file for some uplink, the area
|
|
is automatic created and a areamgr request is sent to the
|
|
uplink to connect that area. The area is created with the
|
|
defaults from the mailgroup.
|
|
Experimental patch in mkftnhdr to create a To address in news
|
|
articles where a Reply-To: header is present.
|
|
It was not possible to disconnect file areas.
|
|
Added nopper code to full mailscan.
|
|
Fixed a problem that caused a SIGSEGV when a node was in the
|
|
ticfiles setup to forward file to and there was no noderecord.
|
|
When a ticfile was received while our aka is in the path, the
|
|
bad tic counter wasn't increased.
|
|
Made error message in AddMsgHdr function more clear.
|
|
Removed experimental patch in news->ftn gate were wrong To:
|
|
address was created.
|
|
The mbfido news functions doesn't abort anymore when a
|
|
newsgroup didn't exist.
|
|
For points in echomail no seen-by entry is added.
|
|
The AreaMgr and FileMgr responses and notify messages now use
|
|
the diesel macro language.
|
|
The tic file forward function now uses only filenames in the
|
|
subject of the netmail messages without the path.
|
|
The tic file forward netmails now uses template forward.tic
|
|
When started a second time it doesn't destroy the lockfile
|
|
anymore.
|
|
When a converted email to news listserver message is processed
|
|
that has a header line starting with X-MS-, the headerline is
|
|
supressed because there is no key for this header. This looks
|
|
like a new kind of M$ standard. mbnews crashed on this one.
|
|
Fixed a small problem in magic filename testing.
|
|
In rfc2ftn the Approved: header now becomes a kludge instead
|
|
of being plain passed.
|
|
Auto file area create implemented, it can use plain tagfiles
|
|
or filegate.zxx formatted files.
|
|
The mbfido web command now uses macro templates.
|
|
Areamgr uplink requests the sender name is now set to the
|
|
sysop's name, so he/she will get to read the responses.
|
|
New command: areas. This will read all defined area lists for
|
|
files and mail groups that have the Auto Change set to Yes.
|
|
Missing areas are created, areas not present anymore are
|
|
removed if they are empty. Good for bulk areas create.
|
|
When missing areas are created, uplink requests are sent to
|
|
connect the areas.
|
|
Added more checks to processing of file_id.diz files. Also
|
|
when it is illegal formatted the already processed lines are
|
|
cleared to prevent later malformatted descriptions.
|
|
The hatch and magic processors now scan the filenames to test
|
|
using the regexp library, this should be more reliable.
|
|
Increased the size of the buffer for filesort.
|
|
Improved error reporting when file copy fails.
|
|
When a virus scanner is started, de mbtask connection timeout
|
|
is set to one hour.
|
|
Changed the confusing No Touch setting in tic areas to Touch.
|
|
|
|
mbmsg:
|
|

|
|
first if it doesn't exist.
|
|
Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal.
|
|
|
|
mbfile:
|
|
The mbfile index command now creates the html pages using the
|
|
macro templates html.main and html.areas. The files.css file
|
|
is no longer needed.
|
|
The check function now checks download directory permissions
|
|
and tries to correct errors.
|
|
Missing download directories are created mode 0775.

|
|
The html file indexes now have better translation from ANSI
|
|
to low ascii and html codes.
|
|
The import function didn't import files starting with the
|
|
letter 't'.
|
|
When a virus scanner is started, de mbtask connection timeout
|
|
is set to one hour.
|
|
The virus scanner was sometimes not executed in the right
|
|
directory with the adopt and import functions.
|
|
|
|
mball:
|
|
Will not crash anymore when it needs more then 10 minutes to
|
|
create the allfiles and newfiles lists.
|
|
Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal.
|
|
|
|

|
|
The High-ascii table to translate to lowercase has now the
|
|
right values to translate the ansi graphics.
|

|
|

|
change lasted 5 seconds or longer, the oubound will be
|
|
rescanned.
|
|
Lots of code cleanup.
|
|
No setup setting anymore for maximum POTS and ISDN lines, this
|
|
is now automatic.
|
|
mbtask will now update internal counters how many ISDN and POTS
|
|
lines are free to use for dialout.
|
|
For ISDN and POTS calls, mbtask now decides which tty to use,
|
|
mbcico gets the tty to use as option on the commandline.
|
|
Keeps track of the number of mailers running.
|
|
Added default path for arealists.
|
|
Keeps track of total mailer TCP/IP sessions and will not start
|
|
new sessions if the limit from the setup is reached. This will
|
|
hopefully prevent that mbcico will use too much bandwidth on
|
|
TCP/IP trafic.
|
|
Splitted no TCP settings in no IBN, no IFC and no ITN.
|
|
Improved the ping tests, better errorlogging and suppresion of
|
|
icmp replies that are not for mbtask. Better protected against
|
|
flood pings. This should fixes the problem that the internet
|
|
seemed down while it was available.
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
Fixed binkp driver to accept incoming unprotected sessions.
|
|

|
The status display has now 9 digits for the outbound size.
|
|
New command, mbout reset <node>, unconditionally resets the
|
|
nodes "try" counter, ie. make an undiable node try to call
|
|
again.
|
|
The status command displays the call attempts.
|
|
Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal.
|
|
|
|

On some systems the download taglists contained garbage after

|
|
|
|
mbuser:
|
|
If a new user has registered and not yet used the bbs, mbuser
|
|
would kill that user because the last login date wasn't set.
|
|
It will use the registration date instead.
|
|
|
