Hi Everyone,

I have a strange (most likely caused by me) issue with D'Bridge not picking
up echomail written by users on my BBS.

I run RemoteAccess (running in a DOS session in Windows) and D'Bridge
(running simultaneously in another DOS session).

I can receive echo/netmail no problem. D'Bridge routes the messages into
RA's messagebase without any issue.
But if I write a message in an echo area from within RA, DB doesn't see the message, even thought the dbridge.rse or .rsn files are created (I can see DB checking when the .rs* files are created, but no echomail is found/send on
it's merry way).

I can "force" DB to send netmail written in RA by using MBUTIL and extracting the *.MSG mail file from RA's netmail area and putting it into DB's Netmail directory.

I also find, if I set DB's directory path for netmail storage to be QuickBBS (area 100, which it is in RA) instead of Fido, I can no longer access netmail within DB (if I try, DB hangs with a perpetual "wait...").
But if I leave it as Fido, I can acces netmail within DB just nothing gets injected into RA's netmail.

Has anyone else who runs/ran RA and DB ever seen something like this?
I hope that all made sense. lol

I'd also like to say thanks Nto ick for all your help and suggestions!
Learning lots! :)

Cheers
everyone.
Take care

This may be a record-locking problem with the message database. Please try writing a message from RA with the D'Bridge instance shutdown. Then shutdown
RA and run D'Bridge and scan the Echobase. Let me know what happens.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the suggestion.
I tried several messages in several different echo areas across several different nets with DB not running, but none sent when I loaded DB after and forced mail / created the.rse.

The weird thing is, every so often I'll see a
"got it" reply to one of my test messages, but I have no idea how/when it sent and why 99.999% of the other messages I try don't send. lol

I do appreciate your help!
