As far as I know, no.

Someone still had some clean head. Thanks for that.

It would be nice to, and back in the day, there used to be gateways between Fidonet and othernets that allowed netmail to pass, but
apparently today's politics gets in the way. :(

Ancient history now (as is anything older than a few days ;) ).

ok but which echoarea? i just want to read what was discussed.

sorry i am travelling so replies may be slow question do you mean
netmail or echomail? or both?

Sad story. Could You remember what any of that kind of gateway was
named?
I did google a while back and found a few DOS packages that can gate between FTNs, but I couldn't recall any now.
I'm not sure whether the echomail would make sense. I guess when You have moderator You don't want traffic pass through gateway from different echomail network.
I would certainly make bigger sense for netmail.

I _think_ it was in FN_SYSOP, but can't be 100% certain. :)

Could be Phython writable. Once the QWK has been used for it. But I
would not rely on my memory.

Had a quick look but not joy, thanks anyways...

I agree and am going to fix this. It seems like a good move to me. Stay tuned. :)

In FidoNet, there used to be ZoneGates that would handle inter-zone netmail. In theory, it would be possible to setup something similar for handling netmail between FidoNet and othernets.
There also exist software packages such as BlackHole which allow gating echomail from one FTN network to another.

I don't understand what you're saying here.
Sorry I mixed too much together. The QWKNet definitely wasn't use for transport of mail from one zone to another. In the fact it has no addresses.
If I recall correctly the QWKNet consist of BBSes where only
there is many Nodes and one Hub.
I help run a network in zone 32 that serves BBSs by QWK or FTN (in zone 32) at their choice. Buy yes, there is no (FTN) addressing for QWK
nodes. There is addressing (by BBSID) but it is completely different
than FTN.

There can be more than one hub. I get DOVE-Net by QWK networking from Vertrauen as most of the nodes do, but I could get it from any BBS that chooses to hub for that QWK network.
The same is true for the zone 32 net that I help with. Right now there
is a small number of nodes (both QWK and FTN) and they all get their
mail from the same hub but as the network grows the number of hubs
(both QWK and FTN) could grow. Only time/need will tell.
QWKNet isn't relevant to the discussion here, that just muddied the waters. :-) Actually, Synchronet allows for more complex topologies than
a simple hub and spoke setup when using QWKNet. I also like that Synchronet can do QWK netmail, which is very cool. :) But all of this
is an aside.

I must be honest. I wasn't able to configure the QWKNet on MBBS.
Somehow when I tried to configure active FTP and then tried to pick up mail from second system it failed. Well... I created the QWKNet
account, password, everything on Phoibos. And then picked up mail on Jupyter. It did connect, it did pick up packet. But it didn't import
any mail to Jupyter. I think it shouldn't be necessary to run mutil in that case. And I guess it's needed to configure the ECHOMAIL area as
part of QWKNet. But A39 somehow didn't transfer my mails between the
two systems. On Linux x64. Any idea what could have I done wrong?

Hmm, no idea on this one. Never used MBBS and never used QWKNet on
Mystic (only used FTN with Mystic).

That sound wonderful. If You'd find any path. I'd be pleased to read
about it.
