Just letting you know about a new message base that I have just configured, tqw_gentech - this will be similar to the tqw_gensci base
but have news posted relating to tech rather than science.
I been shouting this forever. :P Well, Hacker_News, but I'll teake Gen_Tech.
w00t w00t I'll be on the lookout for it.
I did just subscribe everyone to it, so feel free to unsub if you don't
want your system to get that base...

Hallo Meatlotion,
I did just subscribe everyone to it, so feel free to unsub if you don't want your system to get that base...
Ah, that's why a got an entry in my badareas.lst file :)
(and I have configured monit to send me an email as soon as this file
gets any content *g*)
I'm curious to find out what will be in this echo :)
You should have a whole bunch of messages in this new area as of this morning, hope that this information is received well by everyone here =)

Maybe it's just me, but I seem to be getting many errors daily for bad packetswith grunged messages for only this echo.

bad packetswith grunged messages for only this echo.
I'm having the same problem. I assumed it was because I didn't have the new message area setup. I've added the new area as a message base, so I'm hopeful the .bad packets issue will be resolved on the next run.

Oh, I noticed the problem after I had set up the message area. Some messageswere importing fine, while others were being reported as grunged.
I ended up unsubbing from the echo, at least for now. Maybe I'll try it againat some point.

pktdump says that there are "Corrupted Message Header"s...
I'm also using Synchronet and noticed that some messages get imported properly but many don't.
I also noticed .bad packages with messages for the new echo.
Here are some files that were't imported:

Can you make some of those availabe so I can take a look.
My hub is running HPT, and I didnt have any bad messages from the new echo (and then my hub feeds my SBBS :)

No problem.
You can download an archive here: http://files.imzadi.de/badpackets.tar.gz
Ahh, so as it turns out, I was going to expand your packets in my tmp
dir andlook at them, at which point I found a heap.
I think the problem is that the subject line is too long - it should
only be 71chars from memory.
We'll need to get ML to trim it when posting those messages.
I also noticed .bad packages with messages for the new echo.
Hi Anna, I think I have fixed it now, based on Deon's suggestion of the subject being no more than 71 chars for an SBBS system.
Hopefully the latest messages came through ok, any more problems let me know and I will try and fix them.

I'm still getting .bad packets as of right now.

I looked in the packet and I see a 70 character subject, so it must be something else.
Hmm well that's interesting. What else can it be? Can you see anywhere that is giving a reason why it's bad? Do the logs suggest anything useful?

Can you zip up those bad packets and make it available for download? I'll take a look.
ML, the bad packets for me stopped last night - right after you changed the subject line length.

Bad packets are fixed. Looks good now, and I see new messages coming
in. Thanks.

The last .bad packages are from 12:30 yesterday, so it seems to be fixed. Thank you!
Dude! I'm loving the new GENTECH message base. Anything that limits my time onthe TrollNet is a good thing. Thanks!

Awesome, glad it's fixed for you as well. Think this just leaves Codefenix to confirm and we're golden.
Golden indeed! Many thanks.
