  • Host-routing to points?

    From poindexter FORTRAN@VERT/REALITY to All on Sunday, June 13, 2021 11:32:27
    DM,

    I brought this up a while ago, and I'm seeing behavior I don't understand.

    I have a rule in echocfg that says to route mail for 2:ALL with CRASH flavor.

    [node:2:ALL@fidonet]
    Name =
    Comment = Fidonet Zone 2
    Archive = ZIP
    PacketType = 2+
    PacketPwd =
    AreaFix = false
    AreaFixPwd =
    SessionPwd =
    TicFilePwd =
    Inbox =
    Outbox =
    Passive = false
    Direct = false
    Notify = false
    Keys =
    Status = Crash
    GroupHub =
    BinkpHost =
    BinkpPort = 24554
    BinkpPoll = false
    BinkpPlainAuthOnly = false
    BinkpAllowPlainAuth = true
    BinkpAllowPlainText = true
    BinkpTLS = false
    BinkpSourceAddress =


    But, when I look at my log, I see entries where, instead of host-routing mail destined for points, it's doing a nodelist lookup and failing.

    Is there a way that I'm missing to get sbbsecho to host-route all point mail to their boss nodes?

    You have no "Route" set, so this linked-node isn't going to achieve what you're stating.

    If you want to observe SBBSecho routing, watch the sbbsecho.log.

    No special configuration is needed for "route ... to boss nodes".

    what you're stating.

    I suppose that's where I'm missing something.

    What I'm trying to do is set a default route for zone 2 that will attempt to crash mail directly to any node for whom I don't have a specific linked node entry.

    You don't need a "route" to do that. What you're describing is a non-route. Just send the NetMail crash (or set SCFG->Networks->FidoNet->NetMail Defaults to Crash to "Yes").
