I guess start by reviewing your log files (e.g. data/sbbsecho.log) and see if you see the same messages being repeatedly exported or what.

Do you have any details on these dupes - like message-IDs or anything? If your system isn't exporting them, then it's quite possible they're just not coming from your system to begin with.

I'm getting the same thing.

Check your binkd/binkit or whatever logs

/var/log/binkd/binkd.1:+ 10 Oct 19:46:55 [443] done (from 1:128/187@fidonet, OK, S/R: 1/0 (774/0 bytes))


It looks like 1:128/187 may be misconfigured. I didn't know who the sysop
was yesterday and sent a netmail. I just looked it up and it's Terry
Barlow's Colorado Springs board.

I don't follow. That's a log of *importing* into your fidonet_cooking sub. I don't see any exporting going on. Do you have downlinks for your COOKING area in your area file (data/areas.bbs)?

Okay, that sounds like "396/45" was not in the SEENBY's of that message. That's unexpected. Perhaps you can find that actual message in the COOKING echo and look at its header fields. Since the message came *from* 396/45, that address should be listed in one of the SENBY lines.

richard has finally caught one of those packets with posts from one of the haffly's points off of marc lewis' 1:396/45 node... what i notice is that the 396/45 entry is the last entry in the sole seenby line...

could it be that sbbsecho is somehow missing the entry when the sending system is listed last on a seenby line when it looks at the seenbys? maybe an off-by-one error?

2019-10-23 09:02:21 Adding COOKING message from Ruth Haffly
(1:396/45.28) to packet for 1:396/45:
/home/richard/sbbs/temp/sbbsecho/5db05d6d.pkt

Okay, that sounds like "396/45" was not in the SEENBY's of that message. That's unexpected. Perhaps you can find that actual message

in

the COOKING echo and look at its header fields. Since the message came *from* 396/45, that address should be listed in one of the SENBY

lines.

richard has finally caught one of those packets with posts from one of the haffly's points off of marc lewis' 1:396/45 node... what i notice is that the 396/45 entry is the last entry in the sole seenby line...

could it be that sbbsecho is somehow missing the entry when the sending system is listed last on a seenby line when it looks at the seenbys? maybe an off-by-one error?

Anything's possible. Can someone send me one of these packets for a look-see?

im kinda wondering if i should set it up in 4D instead of 3D aka

:1:396/45.0

I doubt that would make any difference.

sure... i've sent two to your email... one is good and doesn't get dupes sent back and the other does... the one that does has only one seenby and 396/45 is the last system on the line... there's also only one system in the path...

Thanks. I wrote some test cases using those SEEN-BY lines and could find no issue with the parsing or checking of SEEN-BYs in that format.

Do you know which *specific* messages in the db45e6c4.pkt were looped back?

As an experiment, I added an additional loop check to also check if a downlink's address is in a message's PATH. Please have Richard Williamson update and check again to see if the issue persists.

I'm still unsure as to what the exact trigger/bug is here.

hummm... it was an eWAG on my part...

Do you know which *specific* messages in the db45e6c4.pkt were looped back?

all of them, AFAIK... not just sole PKTs with messages from the 396/45 points but any messages from them... the format is the same for each of them...

As an experiment, I added an additional loop check to also check if a

downlink's address is in a message's PATH. Please have Richard Williamson update and check again to see if the issue persists.

i'll do that... he might see these messages before then, though...

I'm still unsure as to what the exact trigger/bug is here.

myself... i'm thinking about trying to add some more debugging to sbbsecho that reports the list of seenbys and maybe a few other vars just to try to get a better handle on how it runs its process... if i can get the list of seenbys, i can maybe output the comparison between them and the addresses messages are being packed for... i won't know if i can do that until i get into the code and see if i can understand it, though... it would be something on the order of dev-debug depth :laugh:
