subject: Strange HPT and BinkP behavior.

your HPT logs look fine and proper... at least as far as the pkts being
created and placed into bundles in the proper outbound directories for the
zones they are destined for...



on your binkd logs, though, you left out some necessary portions... i say
this because you have three sessions going on at once but we only have
partial entries for them...



+ 24 Jul 03:33:53 [28477] outgoing session with bbs.pharcyde.org:24554
[24.209.142.55]

this is one session [28477] but you don't have the complete session
posted... you have to grep them out by the PID in brackets...

grep "\[28477\]" ~/where/is/your/binkd.log

this is another session [28478] but again, we're missing the rest of it...

grep "\[28479\]" ~/where/is/your/binkd.log

this is the third session [28479]... the last line says it was with
1:154/10 but the first session [28477] was already connected with that same
system... i suspect that [28477] already delivered the mail that [28479]
thought it was going to deliver... since [28477] already delivered it and
unlinked it, it doesn't exist any more for [28479] to deliver so it
properly reports that they do not exist...


now, here's something else, those two bundles were named the same but they
were in different outbound directories... what happened on the other side?
did one of them overwrite the other or did the second one have its
extension incremented by one so that there were 94377100.su0 and
94377100.su1 on the other end? nick's logs should show what was done on his
system for that connection session...


and finally, if you want to be able to see your binkd sessions clearer and
easier without being all mixed up and intermingled with each other, then in
your binkd.conf file, set your maxservers and maxclients to 1 so you'll
have only one session taking place at a time... if they exist in your conf,
change them otherwise default values are being used so add them as shown...


maxservers 1
maxclients 1


you can change them later on once you are sure your mail is moving as desired...
