Wiki edit of http://wiki.synchro.net/module:sbbslist by digital man: [Configuration] document reverse and backup_level options too
Just installed this... very nice. Possible suggestion. If you can add both the QWK ID and actual node addresses to the Network entries as to allow direct netmail capabilities.
Just a thought
Can you elaborate? Maybe provide an example?
Sure... like my QWK ID is TEQUILAM, yours is VERT. If I wanted to send netmail to say Asscension, I don't have a clue what his QWK ID is so how would I address it to him... Asscension@????.
Accession's BBS is "The Pharcyde". His BBS entry doesn't show a connection with DOVE-Net:
Networks Agoranet[46:1/100], Zeronet[911:1262/1], Fidonet[1:154/10]
If it did, I would expect to see something like this in that list of networks:
DOVE-Net[PHARCYDE]
Created by Accession on 2016-03-11 via msg-network
Updated by Accession@PHARCYDE on 2017-12-09
However, there's a clue: his QWK-ID is PHARCYDE, so a QWKnetmail to Accession@PHARCYDE should reach him.
QWKnetmail supports routing, so you should need to the full route of QWK-IDs to reach another system via netmail on a QWK network (with Synchronet at least).
Doesn't VERT relay IF the netmail is addressed to another QWK ID?
Yes, it does.
I thought
it did but I could be mistaken. If it does, then it would be handy to know that systems QWK ID so it could be addressed correctly and routed through VERT.
Right. And most BBSes that are on DOVE-Net will have their QWK-ID in their BBS listing. There are other ways to look-up QWK-IDs too (e.g. messages posted by that user or the data/qnet/users.dat file created by the qwknodes utility).
