• Netmail?

    From Shurato@618:300/50 to Digimaus on Fri Aug 16 16:11:00 2024
    Copying this to digimaus...

    I've sent you some micronet netmail and a fidonet zone 1 netmail. Did you
    see any of those? I know my micronet and fidonet netmail is working, though rick's routing may not work for net 618...

    I've not received any netmail from you at all. Both networks are working here for netmail. You might want to ask Rick to make sure his netmail routing works but the way the network is set up, there shouldn't be a problem.

    Also, instead of routing me netmail, you can crash me directly at either 618:618/1 and 1:80/200 via BinkP. That's actually the preferred way to sen netmail as routed netmail is a kludge.

    I personally recommend 1:18/200 for FidoNet; it's actually in the nodelist. ;-)

    to sen netmail as routed netmail is a kludge.

    Routed netmail was originally intended to save sysops money back when most mail was transmitted via modem over phone lines. These days, most systems are available over the internet 24 hours a day, so crashing netmail makes much more sense. If you send directly to the destination, you don't need to worry about your message ending up in a black hole somewhere, due to someone's misconfigured mail processor.

    That being said, we should work with Rick to make sure that routed netmail to his net/region actually arrives at its destination.

    I'd sent to 1:18/200 but just sent to 1:80/200. I don't have the means to crash netmail as I don't know how to process nodelists with my binkp client/server setup (IREX).

    useless fact but my experience with routed (fidonet) netmail is pretty good. and it makes the nostalgia factor ++++ :)

    Micronet supports routed netmail but there is a caveat that other systems
    may strip attachents as the mail goes through the system. So I amways recommend crashmail.

    My system accepts crashed netmail from any system. It's better as a ZC and
    a software author. LOL
