      From: nospam.Jonathan.Martin@f100.n770.z3.fidonet.org               g0> Hi Jonathan!              Hi!               g0> I believe FSX has to use a temporary echomail address when you first        g0> join. Have you received your permanent address?              Not yet, although based on Mystic Guy's video tutorials, it didn't seem like       that was necessary. Maybe something changed since then, the videos are a bit       old.               g0> If you have then it could also be that FSX does not automatically send        g0> older messages and will only send messages that were posted after the        g0> time you have joined. If you are receiving only new messages then you        g0> may need to do what is called a "RESCAN" to have it send you historical        g0> messages.              Ah that makes sense. I see the default_rescan in the [ImportEchoMail] section       of the mutil ini.. For the ini I was using it's set to the default of R=250.       I'm still new to the architecture here, but my guess is that mis POLL uses       something else to request a rescan.               g0> I can help you figure that out if we think that is the correct next step!              If you can think of any low-hanging-fruit for me to check that'd be cool.       Otherwise I'll wait until I get my real node address and start real       troubleshooting from there.              Thanks!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
