I have a FD running and nodes poll to collect held packets.

There is a new node trying to setup and connect but it seems his connections sometimes work other times it looks like FD thinks his node is a human caller.

When a connection is made packets held for him are not being sent. The
packets are in a static queue with a status of 'spool hold' and pointing to files in a directory path with a *.* wildcard

Now the same process is used for all other nodes who poll in and that works fine, files are sending, just not this new node.

I think the issue is likely to be on his end but am unsure what else to
suggest to him.

Logs at my end look like this

Any thoughts appreciated, could it be a setting at his end as we have (only once) had a session earlier on where things did flow
