Are you saying that waffle doesn't handle compressed, batched mail?
I've just set up a waffle bbs that I'm sending this message out on.
At this point everything is coming in as single messages, but I had
planned on going to compressed batches the beginning of next week.
Tell me it isn't true. My feed isn't going to like it.

Hello,

I am trying to setup Waffle and Fredgate.. well, what I want is a gating
program so the mail I receive to my own domain (vhc.se) is checked and
looks at the to-lines. and say, if it says to mikael@vhc.se it should be
sent as a netmail (fidonet) to him. and if he writes mail from his node
number it should be converted to be from mikael@vhc.se...

I need help to get fredgate to work properly, or is there any other
gating program for waffle <-> fidonet ??

     Here's a neat thing to do.  Create news.answers with /expire=30
even though you don't get fed news.answers.  FAQs and Nettiquette
postings will be *crossposted* to news.answers automagically.
Once they disappear from their original group, they'll stay in
news.answers for as long as your /expire time.

     Works in DOS or Unix.

     Note: news.answers might be undergoing a big change, according
to news.groups.  Either there'll be news.answers.comp, news.answers.sci,
news.answers.rec, etc, OR there'll be comp.answers, sci.answers,
rec.answers, etc.  In both cases, groups in the comp.* heirarchy
would be crossposted to the companion answer group, and etc.  Just
a way of seperating things a little more.

One of the advantages of vi is that you can just take a block of text and

Mine (v1.65) was chugging along happily for a couple of months doing its

quit. It stopped calling out for no apparent reason. Absolutely nothing 
was changed in the system. I'm baffled and Waffled!

Any ideas?

I had some trouble getting the scheduler to work when I first installed

One of my downstream sites is having problems with "Fatal Timeout Errors"
durring UUCICO sessions.  I've watched through his connection attempts,
and what appears to happen is,

1.	Poll Starts normaly.
2.	He recieves anywhere from 1 to 4 files correctly.
3.	His system stops sending ACK's (or whatever UUCP acknoladges with.)
4.	After about 90 seconds, I get three "Fatal Timeout Errors", and
	transmission is aborted.

This is the only of 12 sites I'm now feeding that does this. 
It only seems to happen if I've got him set up for a medium to heavy flow
newsfeed. 
If I just send him our low-traffic local groups, and mail, there are no
problems.  Anyone seen anything like this before?  We're both running
waffle 1.65.  He's a little new to waffle, but I've been in and out of his
setup, and can't seem to find a problem.

Not only is it undocumented, it's unimplemented.  *sigh* so much for running

their PASSWORD files from DOS to UNIX using SYSMAN EXPORT and then SYSMAN
IMPORT.  Guess not.

In this case, your best bet is to add fully-formed records to the end of

If you mean "Splash file after login", it will display a file named for the

i.e. if user "wcf" had "Splash file after login" set to "Y", then
/waffle/text/wcf would be displayed before he got the prompt.

I received two copies of this post at my site.  (Well actually four,

One was from garg direct, the other was thru one of my newsfeeds.

This little experiment has pointed out a very serious need for a dup

MFM drive.  A pair of ST-251-1 on a WD-GEN controller.  Only one drive

No such option for this cache.  The program came with my motherboard.

I can't take out ANSI, because this is my main machine and unloadable
drivers don't have the same capabilities as NANSI.  Besides, under the
'one change at a time' rule, the last change in usually causes the
problems, and that's the disk.  NANSI has been here since almost
forever.  (this still doesn't explain how adding a HD causes problems,
but I'll leave than alone for now)

Thanks, Ralph.  I'll look for that one.  Meanwhile, I threw together
another machine, hoping to test stuff out locally.  Of course, the other
system has different symptoms, even with the same drivers loaded.  But
the other one also doesn't have a hard disc.  (the only portion of the
main machine I can't duplicate)

Does anybody but me think there may be a privacy issue here?  It's clearly an
ethical principle of UUCP site operation that the sysop will not read messa-
ges passing through the site.  Does this extend to logging the transmision of 
a message?  I.e., does the sender have the right to expect that the interme-
diate site will do *nothing* but affix its postmark and send the message on 
its way?  How would this square with the sysop's arguable right to keep rec-
ords in order to detect mail loops, deliberate selection by the sender of in-
appropriate transmission paths, etc.?  I don't know how I'd answer this or 
even whether I think the same answer applies in all cases.  Is there anything 
approaching a consensus among the Wafflers on the net?

I ran waffle 1.64 under one of the first versions of stacker.  It worked
quite well for the usenet news section (gave stacker quite a work out -- that
is how I came to trust it (-: ) and waffle itself.  In fact I had all but
about 20 megs (I had a very small file section. special interest stuff) of my
hd converted with stacker.  Didn't have much of a problem, though the stacker
volume will get defragmented rather quickly under such a load, but it wasn't
too bad.  I hear the newer versions of stacker now include defrag. tools,
so it isn't as big a deal as it was for me.

Good, good.  Maybe a news threader so we can follow by subject
and then revert back to where we were and even have all the
articles in the thread taken out of the queue?  I see that in
rn for unix, and like it.  

I like the keyword search in Waffle's rn, too;  it will take you
very quickly through the whole area on a search of subject.  It
does seem to be a bit careless of where you are or were as far
as message pointer goes, though...

The file deletion mechanism should be enhanced to either *not* delete
all messages (compare with expire) or update people's join files.
The only valid reason IMHO to delete messages is the standard expire
mechanism.  Message renumbering is a kludge anyway, and should support
join file updating.
