subject: Forward File routing

Hello Joe.

21 Jul 03 13:19, you wrote to all:

File forwarding has likely not been used extensively because in the past
nobody wanted to burdon the cost of routing files for others.  I suspect
that it is indeed a bug.  If you discover that is such a case, you can use
a netmail tracking that provides such capabilities, such a Ftracker.

 JD> I want mention it again, here, now,  just in case it is a bug.
 JD> Perhaps just knowing it is there, it might get worked out sometime in
 JD> the future.



 JD> Using:    SQUISH/386  SquishMail Conference Processor, Version 1.11.
 JD>           1-01-99   3:02a    146878           0  SQ386P.EXE


 JD> Binkley style.

 JD> allow it.



 JD> I've reviewed :

 JD> ForwardFrom [FILE]  [...]  and that general area in
 JD> Squish.doc

 JD> along with:

 JD>  Route  [NoArc] [File] 
[...]   and that area
 JD> of Squish.doc.


 JD> Apparently both are needed.


 JD> The symptom:

 JD> It seems like Squish still wants to read and use the path to the file
 JD> that is on the subject line, as it came in from the sender. Of course,
 JD> this most likely points to some dir that does not exist on my system.
 JD> :) The best I can get it to log is: SQSH File attach `D:\BT\In\I' does
 JD> not exist!

 JD> The subject line was:   Subj : I:\xxxNET\NETxxx.xxx

 JD> 'D:\BT\IN\'  *is* the path to my inbound ... so it was trying.  :)
 JD> However, it looks like it starts to tack on the orginal subject line,
 JD> then quits.


 JD> The .hlo file Squish created contained a line :  D:\BT\In\I




 JD> And to even get it to do this much, I had to comment out

 JD> ForwardTo WORLD     in Squish.cfg.  I use this for normal netmail
 JD> forwarding,                                     and need it.

 JD> I had in place     ForwardTo File 1:13/0
 JD>                    only.  This would not be enough for normal
 JD> operation.




 JD> Has anyone else experienced these things with Squish set up in a Bink
 JD> style system?   If so, and you overcame it, please direct me. Maybe
 JD> I've misinterpretted the docs somehow....

 JD> Has anyone ever successfully used Squish's documented file forwarding
 JD> of routed netmails with file attaches, with a Bink style system?   If
 JD> so, I'd really like to see the pertinent parts of your Squish.cfg and
 JD> Route.cfg.

 JD> Else,  to whomever is working on new versions of Squish,  please take
 JD> note of this.   Thank you. I'll be happy to re-do my experiments with
 JD> any config you like, and report.


 JD> Thanks






Matt
