Re: Feature Request - Send new messages
|
Thanks Glenn,
It seems like when an outgoing message is larger than what is specified via MSGTYPES, the BBS should not connect to the far end first before checking the size. Of course if there are other smaller messages in the queue, then the BBS needs to connect to the far end anyway.
I'm hoping the new feature will allow you to check the "Send new messages without waiting for poll timer" box in the settings for the TPRFN backbone sites, which will allow you to increase the standard forwarding timer.

I have made a few changes here to deal with the VARA HF problem you describing. I have adjusted my forwarding script and
added a PAUSE line between the first attempt and the 2nd, then the script starts over if the 1st two attempts are unsuccessful?
with the forward.?
?
TIMES 0000-0159
ATT 5
IDLETIME 60
MSGTYPES PTRB15000
RADIO 7.1013 USB D 2
C K5DAT-1
ELSE
PAUSE 180?
ATT 5
IDLETIME 60
MSGTYPES PTRB15000
RADIO 7.1013 USB D 2
C K5DAT-1
?
Downside with this script is that it captures the entire port for the length for the script!?
?
The 2nd problem is if the message size is larger then the MSGTYPES line states, once I connect to a forwarding partner and the message is
not sent if larger the 15000 (as it should), however BPQ continues to try to deliver that same message to that same partner. Is there
a way to clear that message from the forwarding queue based on size without changing the message size globally???
