Hello Louis,

 LN> A 23:01:07  Renaming pkt/arc to .asc

I don't ever recall seeing this in my log. The docs say that .acs is for a pkt that couldn't be opened. I wonder if hpt cannot open a pkt file for some reason.

 LN> 7 23:01:07  bundle /var/spool/ftn/in/f65eb467.sa6: renaming to .tos
 LN> 6 23:01:07  bundle /var/spool/ftn/in/f65eb467.tos: unpacking with

 LN> /var/spool/ftn/incomplete/" A 23:01:08  Renaming pkt/arc to .asc

Does the target directory /var/spool/ftn/incomplete exist and is it writable by hpt?

hpt writes to my inbound/tmp when it extracts packets.

 LN> arc:        16
 LN> netMail:    0
 LN> echoMail:   0

16 archives but not one net or echomail. I suspect hpt is having trouble extracting the packet or writing them.

I would check my inbound directories used by hpt and binkd. I suspect the /var/spool/ftn/incomplete could be the problem.

I get/send mail with 21:4/100 all day long but we don't compress packets. :)

 Ttyl :-),
