Hello everybody!

tried to change the ping script with another option to send a reply by crashmail but ..

my $err = putMsgInArea($area,$myname,$fromname,$myaddr,$fromaddr,"$pngsub: ".$subject,"","Uns Cra Dir Imm Loc Pvt K/s",$msgtext,3);


this seems not to work and the message-reply is still routed, what did I do wrong? I thought that
Cra Dir or Imm the mesage would send directly ..

Adding a "FLAGS DIR IMM" kludge *seems* to work for me here, but I'm only testing with a point, so more testing would be required:

e.g:

# Prepend kludge lines
$msgtext = "\x01MSGID: $myaddr $mid\r\x01TZUTC: $tz\r\x01FLAGS DIR IMM\r".$msgtext;

If I check the message in golded before it's pack the attributes are:
Uns Imm Dir Pvt Loc

From hpt.log:

Before:
7 07:59:05 Msg packed with flavour 'hold': 1:229/664 -> 1:229/664.1

After:
7 08:85:42 Msg packed with flavour 'immediate': 1:229/664 -> 1:229/664.1

Ah kewl that is a different approach I did not think of (yet)

However .. the issue I have here when I succeed and I found that just out is: when a point is being mailed by me and I accidently add an Cra or Imm / Dir flag .. it stays in my outbound
and it is not send crash delivered to their boss ..

Is there a setting for?

of course I understand that when a point is available with IBN in the pointlist, that I can deliver directly, but I cannot
remember what i did 24 years ago for sending mail to points to other systems. My own point is working.
I wonder if HPT has a setting where by default such mail is directly sent to their boss rather than routed..

If not .. no issue, but than I have to keep reminding myself never to touch the Cra, Imm or Dir options in GoldED for points ;)

In the meantime I will check if I can embed this in my alternative script. ;)

You could do something like:

# If $fromaddr is not a point
if ( $fromaddr !~ /\./ || $fromaddr =~ /\.0$/ ) {
$direct = "\x01FLAGS DIR IMM\r";
}

# Prepend kludge lines
$msgtext = "\x01MSGID: $myaddr $mid\r\x01TZUTC: $tz\r".$direct.$msgtext;

This should only add the FLAGS kludge if you get a message from node (e.g. 1:229/664 or 1:229/664.0). If it's a point address the kludge is not added and should be sent routed.


You could also try adding:

else {
$direct = "\x01FLAGS HUB\r";
}

To the bottom of the above if statement and the message *should* be routed through the host or hub. I've never tried/used this flag so I'm not sure how well (or if) it works.


http://ftsc.org/docs/fsc-0053.002

HUB:
Host- or Hub-route message (as appropriate).

DIR:
Message must be sent directly to its destination and may not be routed.

IMM:
NOW!-priority mail. Send at first opportunity, override any transmission restrictions enforced by events, costs, or qualification.

Hello Jay!

Just added the features you described.

Now ping.pl supports PING/TRACE with routed mail reply
but when send to PINGC as a node you will receive a direct/imm reply back, however if you do this as a point than it is HUB delivered and/or routed ..

People can test to my system. I am open for business <grin>

Thanks Jay!
