    Hello Stas!

    The usual echo rules apply. I realize that some users just
    have aliases in TgM. Some moderators might want the user to
    sign with their real name in that case - unless Stas' gate can
    implement an Alias/RealName conversion?

    It's implemented long time ago.

    OH! Yes.. I remember that. There is a "Name: First Name, Last
    Name" config in TgM. I guess that's what your gate is picking
    up? But if someone were to have that part blank or refuse to
    fill that out, how does your system pick up and maintain the
    real name to meet some echo requirements?

    Each Telegram user has a unique USER ID.

    Have nice nights.

    That is a good feature. But as a couple of my previous posts
    showed, I can change FN = AA, LN = blank, and FN = August and LN
    = blank in my TgM settings. The TGUID stays the same, but the
    gate can't accomodate the FN + LN requirement for some fido
    echomail areas. Maybe the gate can refuse to broadcast a message
    if the LastName is blank?

    If I am not mistaken, at least most of the Echoes rules that I recall have a caveat about Real Names being in the Body of the message if an alias or handle is in the FN LN section.

    Yeah, I think your right. As long as you sign it with your real first/last, most mods are okay with it
