This pertains to subscribe/unsubscribe notifications..

 I have been testing some new lists I set up, using /listsub and am finding a different from line on every notification email, each with some odd, extended characters in the from line:

eg

Subject: Please confirm your list subscription
Message-ID: ...
From: "Citadel" <Ѐ
<X>


Subject: Please confirm your list subscription
Message-ID: ...
From: "Citadel" <À,&@X>

Subject: Please confirm your list subscription
Message-ID: <5EB49EDE-0000AB37@remnantedu.org>
From: "Citadel" <°¤
8X>

I took a look at serv_listsub.c and see EmailSender passed to quickie_message(); but not exactly sure what is going on here. 

OneRNCfg = CtdlGetNetCfgForRoom(qrbuf.QRnumber);
  136     if (OneRNCfg != NULL) {
  137         found_sub = CountThisSubscriber(OneRNCfg, *email);
  138         if (StrLength(OneRNCfg->Sender) > 0) {
  139                EmailSender = RoomMailAddress = ChrPtr(OneRNCfg->Sender);
  140         }
  141     }

Is this a room configuration issue, or something expected from the Global Address book, or yet another thing I am missing?

If any of my users receives mail containing attachments, these
attachments are corrupted and can't be opened in any way.

Can you try sending the same attachment to your account here on Uncensored and see if it behaves the same?

If it only does this on the Pi then maybe there's an ARM-specific (or endian-specific?) bug. We have to isolate what's making it happen.

Sending it here works normally, so it must be something with my Pi setup.
I'll do the update first sometime this weekend, then see if i can find out more about the cause of this.
Could it be a memory problem, i guess there's not a huge amount of memory available (well gigabytes are a lot to me).

Yup. I remember reading that exact section of the docs many years ago. So if you want to import messages using MSGADD, you probably have to write a program to translate messages into that format. My suggestion is that you download messages from a system like Uncensored using RSS rather than trying to scrape the readable messages, because then you can import other RSS feeds as well (plus it's designed for computer-to-computer connections, of course).

To go in the other direction, you'll need to use MSGOUT and translate that format *to* RSS, and have the operator of the other system (such as me) pull that feed from somewhere.

By the way ... the best way for you to see the format first-hand would be for you to enter a few messages into your system, export them with MSGOUT, and then open the resulting file in a hex editor.

Excellent! I hadn't thought of doing it backward for testing purpose. Thanx!

 

Yes, on the Amiga, there are REXX scripts that can be used like that.

Thanks again!

The file I was able to export contains a message I'd intended for testing purposes is Nodes.add.

Nodes.out is what I'd attempted to add to my BBS, and Nodes.tst was my 1st attempt.

Since the export (MSGOUT) worked, but the import attempts (MSGADD) failed, I'm at a loss without manually typing, and that's what I want to avoid.

Any suggestions? Feel free to Mail me or email to ddrandale@yahoo.com

..What is the size of the attachment you tried to send?

One of the failed files has a size of 260884 byte.

The successful file here on uncensored has a size of 219544 bytes.

You might try attaching a text file, then take a look at the "corruption" to see if it offers any clues..

I created a small file, containing this text:

This is a text file created by the standard windows text editor.
It is not a large file, but i'm sure it will be corrupted once it's sent.

So let's see what will happen to it.

And this was what was received in the attachment (i'm not sure it will show exactly as i received due to the corruption)
Hmm seems there's more to it, as the font size has changed after copy / paste, and indentation was added:

You might try a few more text uploads with various strings and see if there is any consistency with the char length.  

You might try creating some new files with a text editor and see how they look after a reboot.

I predict it is going to be failing Chink SD card writes, rather than a problem with Citadel. 

Or at least, replacing the Chink SD card would be my first approach, since that's a more widely known problem. 

Who knows all the various ways they fail? It might not be a total failure, just not writing properly.

Sometimes you can edit and save a file, it looks okay if you cat it out, but shows garbage after rebooting.

Any way to search this forum?

Change the view of this room to Mail Folder (using the "View as:" drop down in the upper right corner of the page) to reveal a search box.

Hello,

Do you still support the outlook connector?  Is there something similar that I could use besides the imap to go with Calendar, notes, tasks on a similar client?

I like the app, and it runs very well on a pi4.  Any input is appreciated.

thanks

JB 

Oh great, thanks!

Lol, that doesn't work either.  The search box appears, but it appears to be disabled.  Can't get the cursor into it.

You're right!

I'd not actually tried the search box before suggesting it to you.

Yeah, the search bar does not work for me either.
