[nos-bbs] Message log jam - SOLVED - BUG ??

I have solved the mystery of all my incoming mail being jammed.

 

This all started right after I started using 'TCP ACCESS...'

 

That's when the message log jam started. After turning off TCP ACCESS, all my backed up messages came flooding in. 

 

My rules were simple, as outlined below:

===========================================

#Allow a specific AMPRnet host SMTP access
tcp access permit 44.0.0.0/8 all

 

#Allow LUNIX Commercial mailserver SMTP access
tcp access permit 50.79.156.221/32 all  
tcp access permit 127.0.0.1 all

 

#but deny all other services to abusers
tcp access deny 1.50.228.0/24 all
tcp access deny 1.81.175.0/24 all
tcp access deny 1.81.248.0/24 all

--- (long list of abusers here) ---

 

#Allow a specific subnet access to telnet port 23,
tcp access permit all 23

 

#Note that all other hosts not matched above, are denied access

============================================================

 

So, I'm not sure if there is a bug in the TCP ACCESS that causes JNOS mail to hang in the incoming MQUEUE folder or what?

 

For good measure I added/allow from 127.0.0.1 so JNOS would not block itself, but that had no effect.

 

I turned off TCP ACCESS yesterday and as of this morning, all the mail is still flowing as it should.

 

So for now, I have to leave TCP ACCESS turned off.

 

Anyone else seeing this behavior ??

I'm sure I was not.


The only thing I can think of is that it happened right around the time that I switched my link with N6ZX from AXUDP on W2XSC to AX.25/RF on W4XSC.  The hang occurred on W2XSC. 


I can't say for sure when it happened and I can't imagine how that would affect anything.  But restarting JNOS solved the problem.

I need to you to rack your brain on this.....
 
When you had your log jam, were you experimenting with 'TCP ACCESS' at the time ???
 
I think I just found the source of my jam.....
 
.... more to follow.....
