Subj: Y2K bug with DPBOX

Hi,

there appears to be a Y2K-related bug in the DPBOX software. It concerns 
bulletins received after 31 December 2009, i.e. any bulletin created after 
New Year 2010. These bulletins are erroneously identified as "OLD" (outdated). 
As a consequence, their forwarding is stopped, and the BBS-internal lifetime 
is set to only 1 day.

The workaround:

In the config.box file, set the BULLFSMAXAGE parameter to 999999 and reload 
this file.

conf config.box BULLSFMAXAGE 999999
reload
