    NET 1 has SSL BinkP polling NET 4 and vise versa

    NET 2 has SSL BinkP polling NET 4

    NET 2 has SSL BinkP polling NET 1

    NET 2 is yet to open up port 24553 (I'm working with Solaris on that) to
    enable BinkP SSL into NET 2

    NET 2 and NET 1 have been unable to SSL BinkP NET 3 at this stage

    No tests with NET 5 at this time.

    NET 2 and NET 1 have been unable to SSL BinkP NET 3 at this stage

    So, here is what I see:

    I've put you on hold (with Taurus), and when I have some mail to send, I'll send it with SBBS BINKPS... (in fact I'll jump onto Hub 3 and generate a message).

    So, I'm loving that by the time I got to Hub 3 to post this test message, my message from 2/116 was already here... :)

    Anyway, a test message to generate a message for Hub 1.

    Did I mention I like the speed of delivery? (Yup, looks like messages from Hub3
    got out via SSL - which would point to a problem with mystic sending to me?)

    BTW: I can open up IPv6 to Hub 3, and it would be port 24553 - I'll do that and
    send you that address to test - then we know its your port jiggery that's the problem.

    Anyway, a test message to generate a message for Hub 1.

    So it looks like Hub 3 can talk to Hub 1 over SSL:

    But a mailer that refuses to use obsoleted technology cannot talk to binkit or mystic. Now we have three variants that have problems talking to each other: mystic, binkit and openssl based mailers. The problems with binkit are known for a while and have not been fixed.

    I should have written problem (singular). I guess it is just a problem with the

    Nothin'? :)

    Hub 3 is on port 24556.

    But if you have IPv6, you can use port 24553 (if you have to because mystic isnt letting you change that port).

    The IPv6 address is w7-1-1.ipv6.leenooks.net

    PKT :)

    I'm picking there's a few nodes that may have some outstanding files? :)

    Anywhoo I'll finish this backup and then test SSL to NET 1 2 and 3 and report back here when done.

    I think the EchoNodeTracker function will be very helpful for us.

    What?

    Was wondering if I would loose folks.

    Hub 3 via IPv4 is on port 24556 (I use 24553 for another system on IPv4, so NAT
    on 24556 sends it to the hub 3 host using 24553).

    However, on IPv6, Hub 3 can be connected to directly on port 24553.

    Make sense?

    There are. I should try emailing again and see if I get any responses.
