    Hi Chad,

    On 2024-03-20 13:00:18, you wrote to ALL:

    Every so often, binkd creates a .HLD file. Why does it do this? I
    assume it#13 doesnt poll when it does.

    It does that when there is a problem with the specific node. You can find out in your binkd.log what exactly is the cause. For instance from my log:

    ...
    + 20 Mar 00:04:09 [332] 5fa19e73.pkt skipped by remote
    + 20 Mar 00:04:09 [332] done (to 2:5020/400@fidonet, OK, S/R: 0/0 (0/0 bytes)) + 20 Mar 00:04:09 [332] holding skipped mail for 28800 sec
    + 20 Mar 00:04:09 [332] holding 2:5020/400@fidonet (2024/03/20 08:04:09)
    20 Mar 00:04:09 [332] session closed, quitting...


    Bye, Wilfred.

    This happens to me on occasion when the node is unreachable for whatever reason (no internet, they're down, etc). Usually the error I see in my logs is "no route to host".

    So is this typically an issue with a remote server? And after a time
    it will resolve itself to start working. I am not sure what in my
    binkd config would cause a hld and it only seems to happen on
    one node.

    Try polling that node manually, see if that reveals clues. Also depending on your tosser/packer you could set a specific node for hold so that it would have to pick up mail instead of binkd delivering it.. Thats what I understand anyhow.

    ... It was good BBSing with you @F
