sbbsecho exit 1 and stop procesing nexts netmail/*.msg files

hi! I receive message from Ward (2:292/854) that the destination is a node to which I route vía 4:80/1 to Flavio (4:801/188)

The problem seems to be (according to the log) that the attachment is not arriving correctly This causes sbbsecho to stop because it exits with exit code 1 and if there are other netmail/*.msg files these are never processed again

The solution I found is to delete mannualy the XX.msg file that corresponds to the message. But obviously it is not the best solution. These are my doubts:

  • whether Ward is sending that attachment?, because it is not in the inbound
  • If I have some wrong configuration in my system?.
  • If tickit is not working properly for messages being routed, (I have no problems with filesechos that are received correctly and imported into their corresponding directory)

Beyond this, I will verify it with him. The fact that sbbsecho stops working causes other netmails not to be processed.
