This looking very interesting. I used to get an email sent to me
whenever there was a connection made. It was handy to keep track of who
connected and when. I have attached what the email looked like that I
received when there was a connection made. Over time what I had got
broken I could never figure out how to fix it. It looks like sendemail
may be a lot easier even though I still don't know how to set it up. I

there that gives errors.

Someone likely changed the default code, and you'll find it in the

Rick;

It’s a club node that was rebuilt on a new machine. Reinstall script was used, so I would guess the important stuff came over.

From what your saying I would say some one changed the decode 73 to something else , why don’t know

Can’t remember off the top of my head where the decode file is located

One I like to use is "sendemail"

I thought this MUST be a typo for ye olde sendmail, and was wondering who really likes to use sendmail in 2020?!?
... but I see there really IS one with the "e"!
Package: sendemail
Original-Maintainer: Alejandro Garrido Mota <alejandro@debian.org>
Depends: perl, libio-socket-inet6-perl

Description-en: lightweight, command line SMTP email client
 SendEmail is a lightweight, completely command line based, SMTP email
 agent. It was designed to be used in bash scripts, Perl programs, and
 web sites, but it is also quite useful in many other contexts.
 .
 SendEmail is written in Perl and is unique in that it
 requires no special modules. It has a straight forward interface,
 making it very easy to use.
Looks neat... However also looks like you have to provide 100% of the configuration as command-line args, unless I'm mistaken?
One of the advantages of ssmtp is you can put the static config like users, passwords, servers, ports, domain names, auth mechanisms into a fairly short /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf and then all other calls are pretty much just "ssmtp user@domain.fict < email.txt"
I guess you could always write a wrapper for sendemail that sets most of them though? Perhaps...
#!/bin/sh -f
sendemail -s server:port -xu USER -xp PASSWORD -o timeout=10 -o tls=yes "$@"

When you run the DTMF test it decodes as 2 digits ie 1 3 and not the correct actual digit sent

I wonder... Is it not easier, cheaper, and probably MORE RELIABLE to decode DTMF in software these days?

Strikes me... COS and PTT could probably be done with 2 or 3 components hidden on/in the plugs/sockets or at worst a "bump in the cable" plugged directly into the pi's GPIO. DTMF could (probably better) be done in software... Is it time to obsolete the IRLP board, or... do you have a huge backlog of boards you wanna sell first? :-D

It appears ssmtp has been dropped from Debian.  I can install it on Debian 9, but not on Debian 10.  What are you trying to do? Perhaps there is another solution.
