  • Netmail Loops

    From Jay Harris@1:229/664 to g00r00 on Thu May 18 02:42:21 2023
    Hi g00r00,

    Had a situation recently where someone sent a netmail to a point address on my system that used to exist but no longer does. Since it didn't match any of the
    configured points it was routed to 21:* and ended up getting passed back & forth between my system and the hub until the hub noticed & nuked it.

    My fsxNet address is 21:3/110


    $ ./mis poll route 21:3/110.10
    Netmail addressed to 21:3/110.10 would route to 21:3/110.10 (Ogg's fsxNet Point)

    $ ./mis poll route 21:3/110.1
    Netmail addressed to 21:3/110.1 would route to 21:3/100 (fsxNet)

    $ ./mis poll route 21:3/110
    Netmail addressed to 21:3/110 would route to 21:3/100 (fsxNet)


    Would it be possible to have Mystic either drop or bounce a message back if it receives a netmail addressed to its boss node address but the point doesn't exist?

    Sure thing. I'll need to not forget about this this coming weekend and see if I can set up a test. If you don't hear anything about it being fixed from me in the next week or so please feel free to nudge me lol

    I know you're busy, but I figured I'd nudge you anyway... ;)
