Thanks for the detailed information on the queue information. I had forgotten
the method on figuring out the queue name vs. node information. That was a big
help in investigating - and was hoping that was the issue, but the directory
for the Mystic node is there.
I'll try and explain the history on this as it makes no sense.
From my Mystic BBS, I AREAFIXed the Dovenet areas from my D'Bridge hub like I
do with everything else. I also did a %RESCAN. That worked fine, but it never
downloaded ALL of the messages from each area. Not a big deal, but it seems to
get to a certain date and stop.
Fast forward to now, I never never received a single message to any echos on
Dovenet on the Mystic side. I don't see them in the D'Bridge queue or
anything. They are going to my WWIV BBS (different node), but not my Mystic
Node.
I'm starting to think it is *.MSG related in those areas for some reason -
espcially since the original %RESCAN never really picked up everything from the
get-go.
My D'Bridge hub is still working fine sending messages to my WWIV BBS, though.
Just strange! Will do some more digging.
