Re: FOLLOW-UP ON: Problem with legacy tosser (Squish) and Sync's MSGID
By: Marc Lewis to Fred Riccio on Wed Dec 02 2020 07:03 pm
Unfortunately, Fred, that had no effect whatsoever. It may be time for me to just hang it up. I can't afford the time to completely redesign the system to accomodate the Synchronet way of doing things...
Who asked you to redesign anything? If you reall wnat to "hang it up" and are just looking for an excuse, I guess you found one. But you enjoy solving problems, you found one of those too.
And they're so
predominant now-a-days that almost 2/3 of the nodes feeding off me run Synchronet. Mr. Swindell says it's Squish's fault and I strongly disagree with him, but there's not much I can do about it. It's apparent in his opinion that he's right and Squish is wrong, despite the lenght of time its been around doing its job without problem.
It doesn't sound like you've read the relevant FTN specs or my write-up about this the FTN-MSGID topic, but just so you're aware: Synchronet was not the first software to generate FTN MSGIDs which don't conform to what you (and apparently Squish) think should be the norm. Here are some examples:
X-FTN-MSGID <
vg3zhjtkbo8.fsf@coffee.modeemi.fi> 33bc160d
X-FTN-MSGID <x4pkFV$
7VHA.3076@hal.ad.rbb.homeip.net> 6f22dbc9
X-FTN-MSGID <

I could dig up tons of other examples, none of which were generated by Synchronet or SBBSecho.
