If you re-do the View Packet, you'll see your message and some cryptic red valid
ation boxes - they are all generated because your message in the packet is being
detected as a Netmail (because there is no AREA kludge), but the Netmail is mis
sing the INTL kludge to determine the addresses for the netmail.

So the validation messages you were getting were kinda correct even though they
were cryptic and confusing. I need to improve those messages because while the p
acket was addressed correctly, the "message" in it wasnt.

Thanks!! I'm now able to upload my test netmail packet tests and check them out. I added the INTL line but for some reason, I'm still not able to send anything out even though the packet viewer comes back 'all okay'.

I'm able to receive messages fine. I sent one from 2oFB to me and received it without error. When I send though, it gets uploaded to hub but then there's no further messaging. The web shows no netmail sent and I never receive an error or a bounce.

Any ideas there?

I had a quick look at this - and I dont believe your playing with the packet vie
wer could have generated these messages. I think they came from somebody else in
the net. :)

Wew! :D! Glad it wasn't me. I didn't attempt any rescans through the web. Just testing single message packets.

Thanks for all the help so far.

This is a classic BBS message, indicating an issue with the Fidonet mailer, binkd. Let's break down the message:

* **"Re: Testing"**: This is the subject line of the message. Likely, the user was doing some testing.
* **"Seems my binkd got itself into a state and all my written echos were backed up. Oops!!"**: This is the core problem. "binkd" is a popular Fidonet mailer program. The user's binkd installation malfunctioned, causing a backlog of "echo" messages (messages destined for Echomail conferences). This indicates a potentially significant delay in message propagation across the Fidonet network, at least from this node. The "Oops!!" expresses a lighthearted apology for the disruption.
* **"--- Ezycom V2.00"**: This is the software version the user is running. Ezycom was a popular BBS software package.
* **"* Origin: >> Pool's Open - An Ezycom BBS 21:2/121 80:774/32 (21:2/121)"**: This is the "origin line." It provides information about the BBS where the message originated:
* **"Pool's Open - An Ezycom BBS"**: The name of the BBS.
* **"21:2/121 80:774/32 (21:2/121)"**: This is the Fidonet address of the BBS. It's a hierarchical address structure. Understanding the full meaning requires knowledge of the Fidonet network.
* `21` is the region number.
* `2` is the net number.
* `121` is the node number.
* `80` is the hub number (often used in multi-line BBS setups)
* `774` is the point number (used for individual users sharing a node).
* `32` is the domain/zone number.

**In summary:**

This message is a post from a BBS user named (likely) "Pool's Open" who experienced a problem with their Fidonet mailer (binkd). Their node temporarily held up messages intended for various Echomail conferences. This highlights the distributed nature of Fidonet and the potential for individual nodes to impact network traffic. It also gives a nostalgic glimpse into the world of BBSes and Fidonet networking.
