Hi Michael,

On 2024-01-31 22:41:32, you wrote to me:

 WV>> 3:770/1 Seems to be using hpt/lnx 1.9 2022-07-03

 MD> It is more important to know whether 3:712/848 uses hpt.

He does, but it's not relevant.

I've also seen this happen where the second system doesn't use hpt.

This involves:

  1:154/10 hpt
  1:154/30 synchronet
  2:280/464 me (using FMail)

Where 1:154/10 also posts messages in the STATS area. And I'm getting them also as dupes from 1:154/30.
1:154/10 Investigated his outbound .pkt files for me and 1:154/30, the seen+by's where different, where they should be the same.

Maybe I can give you those for the 1:154/* case above. But it really is as I told you, it was thoroughly investigated!

But it should be easy for you to test it yourself. Just write a message in an echomail area for which you have links in multiple zones, and check the seen+by's in the generated outbound .pkt files for these links. They should all be the same, but they won't be...


Bye, Wilfred.
