  • Sbbsecho Filtering Messages During Import

    From Khronos@VERT/CWSHACK to All on Tuesday, October 13, 2026 07:18:59
    Hi,
    I am importing some messages into some echos via a rescan and I am getting errors from sbbsecho stating that some messages are being filtered and the filtered messages are from user a to user b instead of user a to All.
    Why would these messages be filtered out of the import?

    Thanks,

    sounds like you have one of those people or addresses in your block list...

    Where do I find this block list?
    I have never heard of this option before?

    without looking, i think it is in /text with the (other) .can files...

    if you haven't heard of it then it is unlikely that this is what you are seeing... a closer look at the mail log for that entire tossing session is needed if it really matters why...
