I've noticed recently that my users do not show up in the inter-bbs messaging/telegram list on other boards. All of the relevant ports are open/forwarded and services enabled. Any ideas?

Yes, all seems good. I ran your scanmyports.ssjs and everything required passed; looked at sbbsimsg.lst and alleycat is listed; checked my router and confirmed ports are open and forwarded properly; made sure availability is on, still ot showing any logged on users on my board.

According to sbbslist.json here:
"last_success": {
"on": "2021-04-02T08:01:09.028Z",
"result": "Synchronet BBS for Linux Version 3.18",
"stopcause": "Poll timeout reached: 10 seconds",
"service": {
"address": "alleycatbbs.com",
"protocol": "telnet",
"port": 23,
"description": "telnet"
},
"ip_address": "24.224.194.149",
"other_services": {
"tcp": [
"ftp",
"msp",
"nntp",
"smtp",
"pop3"
],
"udp": []
}
}
That indicates the active-user/UDP request did not receive a response.

I just tried it manually, using scanmyports.ssjs and it did receive a response:
UDP Service Port Result
systat 11 Success

So... it should also work during the daily verification. Give it another look tomorrow. <shrug>

Yes, I just ran scanmyports.ssjs again, the only ones that fail are: qotd; ident; imap; ircs; irc. alleycat bbs is in the dailly sbbslist but did not make it into sbbsimsg.lst. This issue seems to have started when I migrated over to an rpi4 Buster, though I cannot see that being a problem, though my posts are getting slammed pretty hard lately, might that cause a timeout?

Shouldn't.
