I have another forwarding question - is it possible to forward a netmail to another BBS? In my case, I have two BBSs, but one is mainly a hub, while the other (this one!) is where I do 99+% of my mail. Is it possible to forward netmail addressed to me on my Mystic BBS to me on this one?

Yes, I believe you can do "Tony Langdon;Tony Langdon@1:123/123"

I'll try that, just wasn't in the examples, which makes it look like a local function only. :)

Its on the wiki but I'll make a note of it in the default mutil.ini too.

Thanks. One wrinkle in my cases is that I have many AKAs, have to work out how to handle that. in the DOS days, a utility called NetMgr could have rewritten the To: address to suit the origin zone, but how to do that on a Pi with a more integrated software stack (Mystic on the sending side or Synchronet on the receiving side).

I'm using RNtrack 1.32/LNX (an old version) on my boss node. It's FREQable as rntrack-1_32-lnx.tar.bz2 (or possibly as just rntrack-1_32-lnx).

Also, I think rampage (Mark) is using a later one.

Cheers,
Paul.

i was going to but it doesn't suit my needs... i ran into something, can't remember what ATM, and there was no solution according to the maintainer so into the bitbucket it went... seems that it is more for leaf node usage than large multi-AKA hub servers...

It serves me when FMail/lnx can't/doesn't/won't... mumble f@rk!

Hmm, Freq is not the most convenient way for me, binkd doesn't have it built in, and I haven't got around to scripting it. I have done it once manually, but the reading and fiddling time wasn't worth the hassle.

Also, I think rampage (Mark) is using a later one.

Ahh, OK, might have to go fishing around.

Yep, found it on Sourceforge - version 2.10 now. :) Looks like it might do what I want, just have to get my head around the configs, which might be a job over the next few days. :).

Yes, I got the impression it needs a close look over a cup of coffee or 3. :D

Mine simply moves incoming netmails from the default Msg directory to a JAM netmail area (FMail-lnx won't). Junk/spam mail is untouched.

Netmail (with naming instruction) if you would like my simpleton's config file & current logfile.

Paul.

I don't have any *.MSG areas (unlike the old says, when I did have one and used YABOM to pack them into .?ut packets for Bink. So my setup will be inherently different.

config file & current logfile.

Not sure how much help it will be, since I won't be using *.msg, but might still be helpful for a general look.

That's just my solved problem. There's plenty more problems requiring solutions. :) A working (rntrack) config helps.

I figured it might offer hints, even though it solves a slightly different ptoblem to mine. :)
