  • Question About Nodelists

    From Nugax@1:103/705 to All on Sat Aug 20 00:07:12 2022
    I know SBBS doesnt need nodelists.

    I see a place in the node in echocfg to place a nodelist file.

    Two questions:

    1) What does SBBS use the nodelist for, if specified?
    2) I assume you give it the filename of the nodelist (without numerics, etc). E.G: /sbbs/nodelists/fidonet


    Is that a correct assumption?

    Thanks

    It doesn't. As stated in the help for that option in echocfg, "for use by BinkIT mailer".

    2) I assume you give it the filename of the nodelist (without numerics, etc). E.G: /sbbs/nodelists/fidonet

    I assume it's the absolute, full path to the nodelist file.
