Start with a look at "Binkit" (mailer) and "SBBSEcho" (tosser) on the Wiki.

You'll have to create/modify your own menu display files for that.
Start with the "Customization" section on the Wiki.

Well, I think it's because Golded is being used, and its not appending an Origin line to his messages.
Origin lines are however optional (as per FTS-4),
It doesn't say that! It says:
"Although the Origin line is not required by all Echomail processors, it is added by the Conference Mail System to ensure complete compatibility."
It is not very clear wording, but I read that as software that creates echomail messages should always add the origin line. But software that processes echomail, should be flexible when it is not present.

if you are having problems with synchronet, make sure you are posting actual screenshots of your configuration.
really, this stuff isnt hard. if an idiot like me can set it up and
then fix other people's setup you can do it. you just made a mistake someplace and need to find the mistake.
maybe find someone you can trust and have them remote desktop you with teamviewer.

I'm not going to 100% agree with you on this one.
In FTS-0004, in the section about Origin lines (which is point 3), the wording
as you have quoted "not required by all..." and "added... complete compatibility" indicates to me that it is not (absolutely) required, but rather useful if it is added.
Further, point 1 (Area Line), and point 4 (Seen-by Lines), explicitly states that these control fields are required. So if point 3 was
required, I would expect it to explicitly state that too.
Certainly I agree that FSC-0074 does make this clearer and states that they are required. It probably should have been promoted to a
technical standard, but wasnt, for whatever reasons it never made it?
if you are having problems with synchronet, make sure you are posting actual screenshots of your configuration.
Screnshot here would be hard I guess.

Forgive me if this is a silly question, but wouldn't the problem lie somewhere in the chain of systems in the SEEN-BY lines? I mean, if the message is originating from his system there would be no SEEN-BY lines (other than maybe his own node) at the time the message is sent.

Looks like Rob/Digital Man has opened a ticket to address this issue on Synchronet's end, so possibly soon we won't have to see them either. Only downside is that it won't be as easy to see (of course, no tearline and origin line will still be noticeable) when someone has a misconfigured system, but at least we won't have to suffer if they don't choose to fix it. :)
It's not a silly question, but the answer is no. While the SEEN-BYs keep getting added to the message as it gets passed around, his original message doesn't have a tearline or origin line, which is why the SEEN-BYs are not hidden on software that specifically only hides them if there is a tearline and origin line.
I'm not in any hurry to address this in SBBSecho. The problem is
with the originator's configuration: they need an origin line in
their echomail messages. It's a critical source of metadata (the
originator's address) in all echomail messages.
oh THAT's why. i've always made sure i have my origin line on.
maybe i'll remote desktop this guy this weekend if i feel like it.
oh i tried to connect to his bbs. it's not connectable. i am not
even sure if that's the correct domain.

Understood and you know this, I know this, and others know this.
However, the half a dozen or more times the solution has been given to
the originator it has gone completely ignored. There's only so much we
can do. You can lead a horse to water etc etc. *shrug*
No idea on the rest of his situation. He seems to be trying to install
10 things at once and has none of them configured properly. Then gets
mad and defensive when people get frustrated trying to help him and he doesn't listen, completely ignores, or doesn't follow instructions very

i've seen this before and the kluge lines were normally the
originator's fault. i havent dealt with this stuff for like 15 years so
i can't remember. i was never a ftn expert but i set it up on my own
and joined multiple networks with no issues.
right now we dont know what the dude is doing other than he's ignoring help from nick and he's overwealmed by the settings. he has not posted his configuration as well. ---

oh THAT's why. i've always made sure i have my origin line on.
maybe i'll remote desktop this guy this weekend if i feel like it.
Might be better off that way, to be honest.
oh i tried to connect to his bbs. it's not connectable. i am not
even sure if that's the correct domain.
No idea on the rest of his situation. He seems to be trying to install
10 things at once and has none of them configured properly. Then gets
mad and defensive when people get frustrated trying to help him and
he doesn't listen, completely ignores, or doesn't follow instructions
very well at all.
Eventually, people will just stop trying to help. *shrug*
Regards,
Nick

I'm not in any hurry to address this in SBBSecho. The problem is
with the originator's configuration: they need an origin line in
their echomail messages. It's a critical source of metadata (the
originator's address) in all echomail messages.
Understood and you know this, I know this, and others know this.
However, the half a dozen or more times the solution has been given
to the originator it has gone completely ignored. There's only so
much we can do. You can lead a horse to water etc etc. *shrug*
Well you can't fix stupid. You can't do a work around each time
someone does something stupid. Remember a while back a person wanted
DM to lock out new users from posting by default in the bbs software because there were a few spammers?
The best thing to do is warn the person, tell them to use a testing
area only, and if they won't abide, block them.

the reason why i think the domain he is using isnt his is because it's bbs.skynet.com. that domain is setup to direct to telesat.com. also
that domain goes back to 92. and there's no bbs.skynet.com subdomain. skynet.com COULD be his, but that would surprise me.
My opinion is this guy seems rushed and indecisive from what i've seen
on line. he should delete everything and then set it up again and only
use test areas.
Maybe he shouldn't even BE a sysop, maybe just be a user.

You should've asked me LoL
Why, you wonder? For exactly the reasons he stated above. You've been offered all kinds of help, and get mad at those who tried. One thing
that doesn't change though, is that you continue to have all kinds of problems with very basic things, and don't seem to want to listen or
<GASP> read some documenation. You seem to not make any progress on anything, and just keep adding more mis-configurations.
I suspect he can fix the SEEN BY thing but since it has bothered a
lot of people he doesn't want to so that he can blame people for
complaining about it.
He got accepted to, and then quickly kicked out of, another network
for doing the same thing.

I imagine the learning curve for some, just coming around now, with no previous experience, and on a 30+ year old hobby that doesn't draw much attention any more is probably more difficult than any one of us that
have been doing it for years can assume. A little patience can go a long way, I suppose.
I feel like he may have jumped into the deep end, by starting multiple tasks/fires all at the same time without any prior knowledge (even
including the operating system he chose to use). Only now is beginning
to focus on one thing at a time and get himself out of the mess he made
for himself. He'll figure it all out eventually.

I agree and normally don't like to see newbies treated like they are dumb. In
the case of the other network, however, he apparently gave the impression that
he was a returning sysop who knew what he was doing and then apparently blamed
the sysops of other network systems when he ran into problems.
Maybe they over-reacted and he is all right, but he does seem to be a little standoffish with the folks trying to help him here, too.
