I'm sure someone else has probably had this error at some time or another, so I'm hoping someone has an answer. In my
event log, every time I send a netmail (usually to my host) as soon as I enter the message it attempts to send and I
always get a message: BINKPOLL BinkP got fatal error 'Bad password' from remote:
I have gone through my setup several times and cannot figure ut where the issue is. When BINKPOLL runs at a scheduled
time, the message goes out like it is supposed to. So where is the error that is causing it not to go out when I enter
it?

Sounds like you have a wrong session password configured somewhere.

Hello Digital,

I'm sure someone else has probably had this error at some time or
another, so I'm hoping someone has an answer. In my event log,
every time I send a netmail (usually to my host) as soon as I enter
the message it attempts to send and I always get a message:
BINKPOLL BinkP got fatal error 'Bad password' from remote: I have
gone through my setup several times and cannot figure ut where the
issue is.

I may be the link gregmeck is referring to here. I just polled there and get no error, the transfer/session is good.

When BINKPOLL runs at a scheduled time, the message goes
out like it is supposed to. So where is the error that is causing
it not to go out when I enter it?

It's odd that the binkpoll event is successful but binkout is not.

Sounds like you have a wrong session password configured somewhere.

This seems to be the case, but why would binkpoll succeed but not binkout?

Ttyl :-),

The BinkPoll event will attempt to connect to all the linked-nodes you have configured in your sbbsecho.ini with BinkPoll=true while the BinkOut event will only connect to nodes where there is pending outbound files for it/them.

The only linked node I have set up is with Al (1:153/757), so there really shouldn't be a problem there

Then I don't have an explanation for you. Close scrutiny of the logs, possibly combined with scrutiny of exec/binkit.js and load/binkp.js could tell you why.
