subject: Potential Squish bug: Forward File routing

Wes:

I know I haven't tested whtat Joe is trying to do....  In fact I'm the
opposite, I have as much of the file forwarding disabled as I can perform. 
We need to put Joe's comment in the queue for review after we finally have
a stable version of Maximus/Squish running under Linux......

Also, I'll forward a copy of this to you in the MUFFIN echo, since I'm not
sure you are carrying the TUB echo.

Take care.....

 JD> Hello all,


 JD> I've inquired about this in the past, and have looked 
 JD> into it on a couple different occasions, with no success.

 JD> I want mention it again, here, now,  just in case it is 
 JD> a bug.  Perhaps just knowing it is there, it might get 
 JD> worked out sometime in 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> I cannot get it to allow me provide a file forward for two of my links.
 JD> I've worked around it, to allow an NC that I connect 
 JD> with, to route his netseg to the RC, with whom I also 
 JD> connect.  Being able to offer this service is what drew 
 JD> my attention to configuring Squish to allow it.



 JD> I've reviewed :

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

 JD> along with:

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


 JD> Apparently both are needed.


 JD> The symptom:

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

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




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

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

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


 JD> Thanks





 JD>                                             .....Joe
