    Yes, I use -tooOld 60 in my EchoAreaDefaults line.
    That's what I added as well a few days ago!

    I also use -sbkeepAll on my EchoAreaDefaults line so seen-bys are not stripped when linking with nodes outside of my own zone.
    Makes sense. Added that one now...

    The magic word for system migration is PKT.
    Wow, thanks, that is a nice procedure! Wish I knew about about that one before I made the switch...
    I had the messagebase in jam format, so no conversion needed. I just copied it over to the linux vm. Works fine! (fingers crossed about the dupes)

    For todays low traffic condition in fidonet no mail should be dropped because of age. Fidonet is a _store_ and forward network. The tooOld switch was built to protect against amok running systems where the
    usual dupe detection fails (eg. msgid modification).

    I see what you mean. But I think I'll keep the parameter at 60 days. Mail that arrives 60 days too late, is a bit suspicious.

    My hub system has the -tooold set at 60. Most dupes come in from
    systems that have some type of failure, or configuration issue.
    I have it at 60 now too :-)
