Subject: 1.08 mail loop
To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
I don't know if this is the right way to respond to things or not, I just
"joined" the tcp-group maillist, but here goes anyway...
I encountered the same mail loop when I installed 1.08c on my system. I
tracked it down to the following: smtp returns the status code 452 to
indicate a duplicate message, but smtpcli doesn't think 452 is fatal, so
it retries the message again (and again...). I patched the code in smtpserv
to return a status code in the 500 range (which is fatal). I'm waiting to
get a list of proper status codes from the RFC's appropriate to smtp.
Hope this helps.

All of the changes to WAMPES made for unix that I've seen so far are in a
comment-free-zone too.
Are there others out there who have used WAMPES and don't like it? I could
list all the things I dont like, but it would take too long :-)
The most annoying thing is that you only get one session, considering that linux
is a unix clone... I know the old session switching mechanism is still there,
but its really crude compared to function key switching and screen contents
memory.
Maybe we need a streams driver, or AX25 socket interface in the kernel...

I have 2 PCs... anyone want to give me a couple of free ethernet cards?

I agree...docs are useful, if only to help you get started.

BTW On the subject of allocating IP numbers... I give one to anyone who asks,
and worry about the administrivia later. The more the merrier!

I was disappointed by the lack of documentation, but the code itself is
fairly nice and performs much better than ka9q net under Linux. It seems
solid pretty reliable and quite usable.
The session stuff is annoying, and on my fix list. An English translation of
the BBS help file would be very nice, but for now I can cope.
I've reconfigured and rebuilt a few bits so WAMPES runns chroot()ed in
a virtual machine space and all the radio users get a nice unix box
to play with , but cant get at the 'real' machine layer.
Its also nice with Linux because I can set a virtual tty to the trace log
- I just hit F8 any time any day to see whats up, and I've also puit a
chroot()ed login on tty6 so that I can can login to the virtual world
of the radio people quite easily.
Its no worse thank KA9Q used to be.

A friend of mine wants to add TCP/IP to his BBS. He is running G1NNA and wants
to change to FBB. He is therefore wanting to know which is the best PC
NOS version for stability and reliability, and that will run fine under
Desqview 386 and G8BPQ. In addition I'm looking for a solution that will
provide NNTP access to his system.
I'm running WAMPES qand have got the tweaks to run an nntp client off
wampes over the radio.
