Seems to me that some messages intended for other nets have
entered this space.

these are all dovenet msgs.

Thx. I only posted the above list in WEEDNET-GEN. So, it
seems that the crosslinking is happening in the other direction
too. :(

msg subs should have their own directories for data files.

That, and if using Synchronet, you should check to make sure different
sub-boards aren't using the same internal code.

if they have their own dirs it doesnt matter what the internal code has

I'm pretty sure I've seen crosslinking issues when 2 different sub-boards have the same internal code. The internal code is how Synchronet references a sub-board. If multiple sub-boards have the same internal code, that's sure to cause problems.

AND... do you know why?

if they have their own dirs it doesnt matter what the internal code has

they were all in the same directory.

All my message groups have their own separate directory. I just did a quick test to make the internal codes the same for a couple different sub-boards in different message groups, and it does matter. When I changed to one of the sub-boards, Synchronet would bring me to the other one instead, and when I posted a message, it was listed in that one.

is the internal code which determines what the actual filename is? because that's what i'm getting at. i've seen this over the years and people used the same name for their msg subs and putting them in different directories fixed the issue. so dunno. i dont even know how a sysop can make that mistake. they should have their shit together somewhat.

but i've seen robert wolfe flood msg networks with dupes 20x
