Can someone help me configure FE 1.46 properly for NETMAIL here? How is it set up as to the configuration and the GROUP mode so that it is only 'seen by' the Net 117 HUB, yet properly punches out any NETMAIL other than to the local nodes in Net 117 to the Regional HUB here for us in R19?

Does NETMAIL really have to be set up in only its' own GROUP that has only a 'seen by' of the 117/100 HUB here?

Thanks!

Mike Luther 1:117/100 and NC of Net 117 in R19 here.

i'm not sure i'm understanding your problem, mike... the default general netmail area (that is managed by FE and a dynamic mailer like FD) doesn't have a group assignment...

can you explain a bit more, please?

I think you may have hit the nail on the head. As I got this whole monstor of 117/100 years ago whne it actually was left on the front porch (!) it had a "Netmail" enbtry in the FE area lists! That group in which it still 'is' shows
that you at 396/345 are shown to 'see' it. Which I now think I understand is how this junk NetMail stuff may be showing up to you on the FTP server connection I poll you from. Yes,the traffic goes into a 'hold' que as is 'normal' for your traffic outbound. But you shouldn't show up as 'seen by' for
this as an 'echo' area at all as far as I can understand this.

This defined NETMAIL area is defined in the 'ADMINISTRATIVE' area here,and it is a 'standard' Fido area on 1:117/100 here. 1:117/100 does have a default NETMAIL editor for the system and as well the MAX BBS application for it does also define tne NETMAIL area and SQUISH handles it properly for NETMAIL as well
as the IE operation. I can read/receive and originate NETMAIL in either tool an things work the same.

Thus should I simply remove this strange 'NETMAIL' area in the FE area and see what happens?

Thanks!

It's Marc Lewis who I have worked for years with using the address 1:396/45 here. There has always been an interesting what-if between Marc Lewis and Mark
Lewis, grin!

I sometimes got confused until I noticed mark doesn't use the Shift key very much. (-: It's been a running joke between he and I and I'm sure he's beyond tired of it by now, so this will serve as my last mention of it.

I'm curious -- is this available via telnet and if so, should I put
it in my ZOC/2 dialing directory? ;)

that sounds like a secondary netmail area where netmail is imported into the BBS for users to be able to access it...

group in which it still 'is' shows that you at 396/345 are shown to

ahhh... you're confusing me (marK) with the other one (marC) ;)

yeah, i'm not sure without seeing more details... if it is really a NETmail area, there should be NO seen-by lines... VIA lines, yes, but not seen-bys...

You know what you get when you try to cross the Safari on a drunk Rhino? Sfharashino you'll get there, chuckle. You'll have to, as far as I know, use SIO's VMODEM to accomplish things like this. But I use ZOC2 together with VMODEM to connect to a lot of sites in my private wanderings I maintain over OS/2.

The 1:117/100 HUB which I also maintain here as NC for Net 117 does not have Telnet connections however. It's the system I'm working with that has IM and FASTECHO and so on on it for which I was posting help requests.

Sleep well; OS/2's still awake! ;)

The Mark (mark lewis) you replied to is listed as 1:3634/12, not Marc as
in 1:396/0...

Be aware that FE writes a file for outbound netmail, i.e. for FD purposes.

There can be only one NETMAIL area setup in FE, AFAIK.
