ALTTEST has never been v3.20 before commit cadada4d. IE: It was upgraded from v3.19 to v3.20 (cadada4d) and I ran upgrade_to_320*. So msgs.ini would never have been corrupted by the known issue that cadada4d was committed to fix. In many respects its a vanilla SBBS with little configuration (so it has mostly all the defaults a new install would have).

ALTERANT is my BBS still v3.19 - its not a QWK hub for *any* network, but it as assumed that role as a QWK hub for ALTTEST. It's what I'm on now, and it gets QWK mail from VERT and DIGDIST for those respective conferences.

I set up ALTERANT/ALTTEST to debug qnet-http to see if I can figure out what the issue is with #310 (and so far it seems to work for me - except conferences are importing incorrectly).

On ALTERANT, I have a PVT_TEST sub (that I also use for FTN testing) - Im also using that for QWK testing - I assigned it a "manual" conference of 9900
in SCFG. I setup a user for ALTTEST to be able to receive QWK packets - of the DOVE and PVT_TEST conferences. The setting for that use is the same as in the wiki.

On ALTTEST - the DOVE configuration is configured from defaults - its never received DOVE before, nor have I had any reason to change that config. I renamed the default "VERT" config (Networks -> QWK -> ... -> VERT) to ALTERANT and added conference 9900.

I also changed the callout command to use qnet-http instead of qnet-ftp.

When ALTTEST collects mail from ALTERANT, the PVT_TEST messages are imported successfully (into the right sub). However the DOVE subs are imported *incorrectly* they go into the wrong subs. In the message dialogue up to now, I've been giving you Sync Discussion as an example, but they are all wrong.

Posts from Sync Discussion that arrive on ALTERANT (from VERT) arrive in Pro Audio in ALTTEST. My post in Sync Discussion on ALTTEST arrived in Ham Radio on ALTERANT, and thus I assume that message also went to VERT in that sub too.

Where do I look? Just looking at Sync Discussion, the conference numbers are the same, the QWK name is the same, as is the Internal Code.
