This identical message is send every half hour! I don't think there is a technical need to do it that often, so it's spam...?

why are you reading a distributed database echo?
there's nothing in there for humans...
the only reason a human might be interested is to see if their data is correct but on most systems, that area isn't even available to the sysop... in fact, it comes set that way by default in the software...
FWIW: i agree that it doesn't need to be sent every 30 minutes unless
it has changed in some way... it could be the result of a bug in
recent changes made to the system or the software... even mine is set
to run 48 times a day but mine doesn't post an update unless there's
been a change, AFAIK...

That seems as good default setting: Only send updates, and maybe monthly (or weekly) periodic ones just in case the update is missed...

The default behaviour is to repost data every seven days, and to post new data / updates as they come in. It's likely this sysop has misconfigured the event responsible for these messages; there are a couple of ways to force it to export all data every time or with greater frequency.

Because I can. ;)

Maybe it shouldn't be gated to fidonet, and stay inside the synchronet network?

if it isn't gated to fidonet, how are fidonet sbbs systems to get their updates for those options? one does not have to join DOVE-Net for the feature capabilities...

hopefully the sysop of the system in question will have found a fix by now... that or maybe DM has found a bug that caused it and fixed that?
still leaves that system in question to be updated...
with all that said, it isn't a big deal... or is it?

You could turn it around, and make DOVE-NET a requirement if you want
the data in SYNCDATA. ;)

DM send him an email...

Not really, just a little annoying, but I'll get over it. ;)
