• MBSE 1.0.7.22 upgrade

    From Vincent Coen@2:250/1 to All on Tue May 25 16:07:12 2021
    Hello All!

    This is a WARNING for all those that upgrade to this version :

    You MUST go to 1.11.21 and set this on.

    Despite it only tossing pkt's in var/inbound. If not it will leave all .pkt and
    .PKT alone with no hint what so ever why in the log files. In my case these pkt's are from valid uplinks.

    Note in my system var/inbound is set for both protected and not under option 1.4.2 & .3.

    This is defeating the purpose of having a separate inbound for secure sessions. The new feature is not needed in your setup; as all packets would end up being tossed anyway. Having both inbounds set to the same path is NOT RECOMMENDED as it will leave your system vulnerable to mail bombs.

    Point made, I have now changed it (1.4.10.2) to ./var/unknown and turned off 1.11.21 to see what happens in my inbound area regarding *.PKT's however the packets coming in are from a known system.
