I also notice this in the log when anyone else logs in. It resolves to a BBS in the United Kingdom. Is anyone else seeing this? It started 48 hours ago. Is there something I need to do to resolve the issue or just ignore it?

I don't recognize that error message. Are you finding that in exec/sbbsimsg.js on your system?

It only shows up when anyone uses interBBS messaging (logon or at the Chat prompt) I see it in my telnet log. I can assume it is being generated by a lack of data reaching exec/sbbsimsg.js? I am checking to see if I am blocking that ip or range of ip. I will let you know what I discover. I plan on ignoring most likely if it persists. The message is a warning. I get a lot of MRC connector red error messages (Invalid message from client) ever since I changed my DMZ settings on my router but I ignore those as well, perhaps the two are related? I do not know for sure. Half the fun of this adventure is getting there. Have a great day Digital Man.

I tried adding the ip to the exemption list and then to the ip.can list neither made any difference. I have not made any changes to any .js files. This warning just started showing 72 hours ago at this point only when someone uses the synchronet imsg list. Changing it from blocking this ip address to exempting it made no difference. I am not sure what to do so I will just let it go. I can still message other BBS's just fine it appears. It is an address in the UK. How do I purge it from my imsg list?

it loops around like that when I just sit in the IMSG screen watching other BBS's activity remotely. This message only shows in my telnet log. I hope someone can tell me what it means and maybe what to do. Have a great weekend all.

I found the error message, it's from load/sbbsimsg_lib.js and it indicates you're receiving UDP connections from a system *not* listed in your ctrl/sbbsimsg.lst file. You can likely just ignore it.

How do I update the sbbsimsg.lst or delete the entry? I was just curious. I got a BBS running right now that barely generates error messages and I am proud of it. It is a me thing. I will probably end doing what you suggest.
Ignorning it but I do love to understand the how and why. I hope you have a great Sunday. Rixter
Re: InterBBS Messaging log showing this error all of the suddenThank you. The error message stopped on its own. LOL. I understand now thanks to you.

The sbbsimsg.lst is retrieved daily from Vertauen using the GETIMLST timed event that comes pre-configured with Synchronet (in SCFG->External Programs->Timed Events).
The issue is that you're receiving activeuser/sysstat requests (via UDP port 11) from an unexpected system. It's not a big deal.
Ignorning it but I do love to understand the how and why. I hope you have great Sunday. Rixter
You too!
