MK>> It's possible that this has been answered already and I missed it.
MK>> The only outbound that works with my irex and fastecho is netmail
MK>> and mailbox directories.
ml> ok... only outbound...
RW> [????]
MK's second line quoted above... "the only outbound that works"...
MK>> Everything else ends up in the appopriate directory but is never
MK>> tossed.
ml> hunh? tossed is for inbound traffic...
RW> outbound doesn't get tossed? Really?
right... outbound is /scanned/ from the message bases... inbound is /tossed/
into the message bases...
ml> you were just talking about outbound... i'm confused :?
MK>> I recieve just fine. As a note, one of my email passwords was
MK>> corrupted so I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to start
MK>> from scratch.
ml> irex has been known to get corrupted by looking at it sideways...
RW> Could that be because it's the linux version? I've never seen a
RW> corrupted windows version here and I've used Irex for at least 12,
RW> maybe 15 years now. In fact, if you leave the configs alone once
RW> they're working properly, Irex continues to run for weeks and
RW> months without interuption.
i don't know what flavors the hundreds of complaints over the years have spoken
about... i do seem to recall you having problems at one point and having to put
a backup of your configs in place...
ml> everyone i know that uses it gets their configs right and then makes
ml> copies of them to put back in place the next time they get
ml> corrupted.
RW> I don't, because there is no need.
hummm...
ml> .. the real question is why do they get corrupted in the
ml> first place... starting clean won't prevent the corruption from what
ml> i've read over the years...
RW> I had Irex stop working lately, but it was due to a switch being
RW> changed that was the cause. It now sits in the 'tray' waiting for a
RW> connect on the 24555 port that it is listening to. That won't
RW> happen until I find the password to the router to make a change
RW> there.
