Not sure if you are following FN_SYSOP, but wanting to understsand why Ward's netmails are being processed by some tossers and bounced by
others, when his netmail has zonegate addressed netmail.
He sent one to me, sbbsecho happily processed it and gave it to me:
Importing /opt/sbbs/fido/nonsecure/11424351.PKT (Type 2e, 0.6KB) from 2:292/854 to 3:633/509 Ward Dossche (2:292/854) To: Deon George (3:633/509)
Ward Dossche (2:292/854) To: Deon George (3:633/509) Imported
But when I look at the packet, the packet is addressed to me (3:633/509), but the netmail in the packet is addressed to "2/3", not "633/509". Why is this ignored? (HPT doesnt seem to be...)

I have the packet if you need it.
What is in the INTL kludge for that mail?
Hey Rob,

I have the packet if you need it.
Try using pktdump to view the packet instead. Packets contain packed messages with their own headers with destination and origin addresses. And there's kludge lines that override address information (i.e. INTL). Perhaps somebody's confused about that?

For some reason I dont have pktdump - but that's OK because I wrote my own.
But your 2nd last statement is probably the reason.
Your tosser (sbbsecho), actually looks inside the packet and uses the INTL instead of using the address in the packet message header? Not quite sure if that is right or wrong, but that's the behaviour?
(In this case, the INTL kludge has the correct destination (as it always would right?) but the packed message header has a different destination.)
Does it ever use the address in the packed message header?
What is in the INTL kludge for that mail?
The INTL kludge is correct as it should be, ie:
INTL 3:633/509 2:292/854
So I'm using sbbsecho is being smart and opening the packet and realising that it can route to 3:633/509 directly and ignoring the address in the packet header?

exec/pktdump, it's built automatically when you build sbbs on Linux.

BTW: I see pktdump being "built", but I dont see it being "installed"...
https://dev.dege.au/bbs/sbbs/-/jobs/3357/raw
My build command is this:
make RELEASE=1 USE_DOSEMU=1 NO_X=1 JSINCLUDE=/usr/include/js JSLIB=mozjs185 SBBSDIR=/opt/sbbs install
Is this a problem with my install command, or in the Makefile?
The install/GNUmakefile is normally a single-use install, so I'm not clear if you're re-using that makefile after an install, but that would explain why you didn't have pktdump copied or symlinked to your exec dir.

Howdy,

Since I use Synchronet in a docker, my install is technically a first-time install everytime the container image is created as there is no existing environment to "update"/"upgrade".
I've only known the GNUmakefile install - its what I would have learnt form the wiki the first time I started out with Synchronet. In fact, Ive not understood the purpose of the other Makefiles, and assumed they were all put of the build.
Hopefully I'm not missing out on any other utilities :)
