    Any ideas?

    Yes! It tries to send a file with an empty filename. The M_FILE command should be

    M_FILE 12345678.ABC 4096 1573351165 0 Sent M_FILE
    and not
    M_FILE 4096 1573351165 0 Sent M_FILE


    belated thanks for this info Oli - appreciated :)

    It looks to me like the file you are trying to send (604F012D.WE1)
    already exists. Looks like the bad M_FILE might be because his side is attempting to send a directory rather than a file. So, the filename arg is missing from the M_FILE command line:

    Got M_FILE command args: 604F012D.WE1 986069 1573351762 0

    Contains a file name in the first arg.

    Sending file: /var/opt/EchoMail/FidoNet/SBBS/Outbound/00e20011.pnt/ (4.0

    No file name at the end of this path statement...

    Sending M_FILE command args: 4096 1573351165 0

    Contains a space in the first arg.

    Sounds like maybe an issue with his version of BinkIT, or maybe his pathname is too long?


    Thanks Mike. I have contacted Charles on the back of your helpful feedback
    (and Oli's!) to let him know. I've suggested he enlist some help from someone who knows more about BinkIT than I do, or perhaps look to move to BinkD instead.

    Appreciate the feedback and info guys

    Best, Paul

    Hi! Paul,

    I know nothing of BinkIT. But I know a little more about binkD.

    However I just need to say that my simple last-century brain is signalling that
    maybe, just maybe, someone has a filebox aimed at a BSO outbound directory. This is a gross error state. OTOH it may be, just maybe, not actually be the root problem.

    :)

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    I think maybe Oli mentioned that also, and I am inclined to agree with you both. That path looks suspicious. :)
