  • Question about Netmail routing

    From Flavio Bessa@4:801/188 to All on Monday, June 14, 2021 10:15:37
    Hello,

    I have been doing some testing with Netmail routing and have a
    few questions.

    My main Fidonet feed is 4:90/1, and my secondary feed is 2:341/66.

    I have Route Info configured as such:

    4:90/1 -> 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:*
    2:341/66 -> 2:341/*

    Under the above setup, all netmail towards 2:341 network is routed
    through 2:341/66.

    I would like to route all region 34 netmail (nets 341 and 343)
    towards 2:341/66, but my attempts to configure it have failed.

    For instance:

    Configuring 2:34*/* Route info -> Netmail to 2:341/206 is sent
    through 4:90/1 instead of 2:341/66

    Configuring 2:34* Route info -> Netmail to 2:341/206 is sent
    through 4:90/1 instead of 2:341/66

    I was looking at the wiki and there is not much detail regading
    the wildcards and how they should be applied...

    Configuring 2:34* Route info -> Netmail to 2:341/206 is sent
    through 4:90/1 instead of 2:341/66

    I would do it like this in the route info line for 4:90/1..

    1:* 2:*!2:341/*!2:343/* 3:* 4:*

    And this for 2:341/66..

    2:341/* 2:343/*

    I am not certain that is what you want and you'll want to check what that does with "./mis route".

    It is on the wiki in the Networking -> EchoMail Nodes section.

    Awesome! It worked like a charm!

    I wasn't aware that I could add 2:341/* and 2:343/* together...
