  • Netmail messages going into multiple areas

    From Matty@21:1/246 to All on Mon Sep 16 14:52:17 2024
    Hi Everyone,

    I added a second message network to my Mystic BBS. Ever since then, Netmail messages for either network appear in the Netmail areas for each network.

    So, all the in/out Netmail messages for network #1 appear in the area for network #1 and in the area for network #2. The same for #2 in #1.

    I checked that I have Message Bases configured correctly for each, nothing is crossed.

    Does anyone have any ideas what I did wrong?

    Cheers!
    Matty

    It's great to fix my problem all I have to do is post here and then I am able to figure it out on my own!

    I was using the same file name for the message bases!

    Duh!

    Thank you all - lol

    Hi Avon,

    I was beginning to wonder if that was the way I should go after I saw the way when I "misconfiguration" it.

    Is it okay to have two different networks Netmail files use the same file name?

    If you're going down the path of having two different netmail bases I would set them up with different file names that they point to.
