[nos-bbs] getting mail into the BBS

[Torsten Harenberg]

Dear all,

I investigated this a bit further and I know now that the index files 
cannot be rewritten:

jnos> index dl1thm
Error writing index file for dl1thm 

jnos> 


I crawled a bit through the code and found, that I get a error code in 
index.c exactly here:

             /* Read the 'Received...' and 'ID... lines'
              * to get the msgid - WG7J
              */
             if(bgets(buf, sizeof(buf), fp) == NULL) {   /* "Received " 
line */
                 default_index("",&ind);
                 fclose(fp);
                 close(idx);
                 return ERROR;
             }


Files look like this:

apfel:~/jnos/spool/mail root# hexdump dl1thm.ind
0000000 0000 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000
000000c
apfel:~/jnos/spool/mail root# cat dl1thm.usr
dl1thm 0
apfel:~/jnos/spool/mail root# cat dl1thm.ind
apfel:~/jnos/spool/mail root# cat dl1thm.txt

Any ideas?

Thanks and best regards,
