    Those are REP packet export activity log messages which begin with the message group name. The default/stock name of that message group is "DOVE-Net" (capitalized in that way) but for some reason on your system its "Dove-Net", so that threw me a little.

    I don't know/remember why mine is capitalized like that. I suppose I should change it so that it's correct.

    After those log messages, you
    should see the "Call-out" event logged. That's what the OP was asking about.

    I thought those log messages were triggered by the same event. It sounds like they aren't.

    They are triggered from the same event, but the actual call-out part is optional.

    "DOVE-Net" is actually how it's set up on my BBS, capitalized like that, so I don't know why it's showing as "Dove-Net" in my logs.

    That's mysterious. Maybe do a text search through your ctrl/*.ini files.

    Hey all--how can I confirm that the automated network call-outs are happening as scheduled? I've double-checked settings but I must be missing something. I can't seem to pick up new messages without forcing a network callout. Thanks!

    Check your events log and compare against your configuration in SCFG->Networks->QWK->Network Hubs->Hub-ID.

    Thank you! It looks like I had a packet download since I posted that. Heh! The default call-outs are 4 a day. Is the timing of those just 24 hours / 4 times a day? Every six hours? I think I'll increase the frequency.

    "DOVE-Net" is actually how it's set up on my BBS, capitalized like that, so
    I don't know why it's showing as "Dove-Net" in my logs.

    That's mysterious. Maybe do a text search through your ctrl/*.ini files.

    From my sbbs/ctrl directory, I ran the following:

    grep "Dove-Net" *.ini

    There were no results.

    I must have been seeing things.. I checked again and it is DOVE-Net in my logs. :|

    Hello Digital.

    <On 01May2025 15:49 Digital Man (1:103/705) wrote a message to Marc Lewis regarding Network call-outs for QWK >

    Please pardon my top-posting. Had this actually come from the Newsgate system it would show a "From" line that read ""Full Name user@net396.fidonet.org". The Newsgate system is incapable of generating dupes. Methinks this message was bogus.

    Kindest regards,
    Marc.
