With this example, what happens to packets that are created for 1:2320/105? Do they wait for 1:2320/105 to pick them up/for them to get delivered, or will it see the "Route" keyword and send everything to 1:218/700?
I don't have that issue for other zones (othernets) I connect with, and I have never really thought I had reason to use "Route," but I have two connections for FIDO and sometimes do need to send netmail to nodes I don't connect with. I don't want netmail/packets for connection #2 going to connection #1, but I do want ALL other Zone 1 traffic going to connection #1.
I was reading the wiki today, trying to figure out how to use the echolist keys and not getting anywhere when I stumbled across something I have been meaning to ask about. Using the example below, which is from the wiki but modified somewhat:
[node:1:218/700]
Comment = My Hub
AreafixPwd =
PacketPwd =
PacketType = 2+
Archive = ZIP
Inbox =
Outbox =
Passive = false
Direct = false
Notify = false
Keys =
Status = Normal
[node:1:2320/105]
Comment = Another node I connect with
AreafixPwd =
PacketPwd =
PacketType = 2+
Archive = ZIP
Inbox =
Outbox =
Passive = false
Direct = false
Notify = false
Keys =
Status = Normal
[node:1:ALL]
Comment = Everyone in FidoNet Zone 1
AreafixPwd =
PacketPwd =
PacketType = 2+
Archive = ZIP
Inbox =
Outbox =
Passive = false
Direct = false
Notify = false
Keys =
Status = Normal
Route = 1:218/700

Mail for any unlisted (in sbbsecho.ini) nodes will go to #1 but mail for #2 will be set to normal status and sent on the next binkout or binkpoll (if set to true) event.
I think this config will do what you want. However, standard disclaimers apply.. :)
