When I log into other Synchronet systems, I am always greated with a messages from SBBSecho stating I have messages in the certain areas, but I never get these messages on my system for me. I have my fionet batch file with the following lines, which should produce the messages.

echo *** Processing Inbound & Outbound Mail ***

c:
cd\sbbs\exec

C:\SBBS\EXEC\SBBSECHO /LESR!
C:\SBBS\EXEC\SBBSECHO /LINF

What am I missing, or does the sysop even able to recieve the telegram message from SBBSecho. Thanks

Is it possible that your BBS account's alias or 'real name' field doesn't match
the destination user of the FidoNet echomail messages?

My bad, It's working, I just forgot it doesn't work on QWK echos. Since I get Dovenet on QWK, and not FTN, I would not get a message. Are there plans for this in the future for QWK? Sorry for the confusion Rob.... Don't ever get old :(

if you are connecting to a msg network on another synchronet bbs, try nntp. it's easy to setup and works great.

Ok, never tried nntp, but I'll give it a shot, sounds interesting, but whats that got to do with SBBSecho and telegram notification. I figured out what was happening. SBBSecho telegram notifications only work with FTN, not QWK, and I didn't stop to realize that some of the boards I log into get Dovenet by fidonet, and that's why I was getting the notifications on other systems. My brain is a little slow at times. LOL. Thanks

No problem. I've thought about implementing it for QWK networking too, but never got around to it. I think mainly because I would want a way to disable it. I'll make sure it's on the todo list.

well that would be something, wouldn't it? :-)

Nothing except "I can't explain sbbsecho to you in 80 characters or less, so I won't bother. Use NNTP instead. Don't ask why, just do it."

:D

out what was happening. SBBSecho telegram notifications only work with FTN, not QWK, and I didn't stop to realize that some of the boards I log

Reason being is that with QWK, sbbsecho is not part of the picture - so while sbbsecho may trigger a telegram notification when new messages come in for a given user, the mechanism that imports QWK messages does not. (Maybe it could/should - I'll leave that for greater minds than mine to think about.)

I hear ya :)

Would be a nice feature, but I'm sure more important issues are at hand at the moment. It will come in time hopefully.
