    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?

    Thanks and have a great weekend.

    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.
