Hi all
question.. i have fsxnet as my main "addresS" as that was the first FTN I managed to get going and so forth.
i also have micronet and fido as "alternates" (for want of a better way of putting it).
the question is, when someone netmails me from fido, it automatically replys with an FSX net address.
obviously i have either screwed something up (highly likely) or im missing something (equally as likely).
as of right now i found the "let user pick source address" in SCFG, but that's not ideal I'd love for it to automatically pickt he right FTN in a netmail.
echos are working fine after the same thign was pointed out to me and how to fix that one :D Just netmail i've been struggling with.

Well.... was trying to be humorous about it... but. The Shift key. You know, the one that when held down and then a letter key is pressed,
makes that letter appear as a CAPITALIZED letter. You know, the
generally accepted correct way to write a proper sentence in English.
The way they taught you in school.
The rest of my comment was regarding 'MRO', who also never capitalizes anything, and well..... you know.

Well that explains why. Synchronet doesn't know that zone 1 and zone 2 are part of the same "network".

is there any way outside of "selecting manually" the origin

for example, i noticed in (i think it was) echobbs where you
specify your hubs. I have 1:xxx/xxx and 1:ALL - can i do 2:ALL ?

Certainly. From my /sbbs/ctrl/sbbsecho.ini :
[domain:fidonet]
Zones = 1,2,3,4
DNSSuffix = binkp.net
NodeList = /sbbs/fido/nodelist/NODELIST.217
(that last line may vary according to your preferences)
You should have a "domain" declaration section for each network that
your system is connected to.

Synchronet (e.g. sbbs) doesn't read/use the sbbsecho.ini file, so it doesn't know anything about FTN domains.

Wouldn't it make more sense if it did?

Synchronet doesn't support 5D FTN addresses, nor do I see a need for it to, so no: I don't think it'd make more sense if sbbs used the sbbsecho.ini file for this purpsoe.

But.... we're talking about netmail... Isn't netmail sent with
sbbsecho?
When I write a netmail to someone in Zone 2, the choice of originating
FTN address defaults to my Zone 1 address. Same if I write to Zone 3 or
4. If I write to Zone 21, it "knows" to default to my Zone 21 address
as originator.

OK. So I must be missing something. Is it possible for a Fidonet zone
1 node to exchange netmail with a Fidonet zone 2 node via a Synchronet BBS?

Normally, yes, but that's not strictly required. SBBSecho is the officially supported FTN tosser/scanner, but it hasn't always
been the *only* one.

FTN address defaults to my Zone 1 address. Same if I write to Zone 3 or

What are you puzzled about?

I guess I'm puzzled at how defining the FTN domains in sbbsecho.ini
isn't the correct answer to the original question about having FidoNet
know it uses Zones 1-4. It sure seems to be doing that on my system.

It also makes you seem like MRO, which is not a good thing. Only people who dropped out of school at about 4th/5th grade write like that.
Really. Do yourself a favor and write like an adult.

Okay.... but for most (nearly all) current SBBS sysops, it's what is being used, I'd guess. I understand what you're saying about *SBBS* not using sbbsecho.ini, but for all intents and purposes, the *BBS system*
is using it for knowing how to send/route netmail.

The original question was about having Synchronet (sbbs) set the
default source address to another zone within the same
network/domain when replying a netmail message. I think my recent
commit addresses the request.
When I write a netmail to someone in Zone 2, the choice of originatingThat may have something to do with how you set up your FTN addresses in SCFG. If your default address is a Z1 address, it is probably going to use that one for any other zones it does not find a

match for.
There are also some settings in sbbsecho.ini, but I am not sure if it uses those for picking the zone to put on the netmail
or only to route it, i.e.
[node:2:ALL]
(stuff removed)
Route = 1:154/10
[node:3:ALL]
(stuff removed)
Route = 1:154/10
[node:4:ALL]

Route = 1:154/10

Yeah, that's basically how I think of it. Since sbbsecho is included with Synchronet (and I think has been since I started
using Synchronet), I tend to think of sbbsecho as a component of Synchronet/SBBS. And sbbsecho seems to do the job, and I
don't know of another tosser I'd rather use in place of it.

as a brit, "tosser" has multiple connotations :D
