Are there any clients on either Ios or Android I can use to interface with my system?
From what I know so far some sort of qwk client might be best as I can interact with all networks on my system in a transparent way with out having to create point nodes for each of my ftn connections.
Thanks for any advice you can provide.

Of course I am just trying to actually set this whole thing up on my own BBS, and right now I am struggling with actually accessing the NNTP
server from outside. But oh well...

which actually brings me to another question: why would my access to the nntp service get refused. I have port 119 open, but I am receiving a
message that the service is being refused. I both tried over my dyndns address (erebor.synchro.net) and directly via IP and got the message in
both cases.

Ok,
Lets say I setup the nntp client on my phone.
What from / reply address do I set in my client as I wouldn't want reply messages in e-mail, I'd like them to go back into the message base on my board.
Hi,
Lets say I created a point for my fidonet node.
If my client is connecting from anywhere in the world how do I route areafix requests back to it with out an ip or hostname to
send the NetMail towards?
Also how do I send the echo list to this node?

You don't. You set your boss to hold, and you poll for your mail from the app, like people did in the olden days.
You can either just enable your echo areas from your bossnode for your point, or you can send an areafix request via the app. Aftershock just imports whatever it receives, you don't need to set up an echo list.
HotDogEd required an echolist, which you could toss on a webserver somewhere.

I created a linked node on my bbs for the point and in the wizard onder binkp settings I left the hostname blank.
When ever I send my point a mail message the system still does a dns lookup. p1.f205.n135.z1.binkp.net
can not be found.
My setup looks like this:
[node:1:135/205.1@fidonet]
You can either just enable your echo areas from your bossnode for your point, or you can send an areafix request via the app. Aftershock just imports whatever it receives, you don't need to set up an echo list.
If I subscribe to all areas on my bbs this might include all fidonet areas along with fsxnet areas as well so is there a way I can limit this subscription process to fidonet areas only?

Hi,
I changed my setup to chop off the @fidonet and dns lookups are still occuring when sending outbound mail to find the node.

HotDogEd required an echolist, which you could toss on a webserver

Though convenient, it is not required. You can type the echo names, one per line, and HotdogEd will create a netmail to Areafix.
Hi,
My issue here is that my node I am connecting doesn't have a static ip or hostname. This is an Android phone that will connect from multiple location so the ip address will be unknown. If I remove the BinkpHost and BinkpPort key words would this stop the dns lookups?

You're trying to send mail to your point. That's not how this works. The point needs to fetch mail from your BBS. It will connect to your BinkIT server, much like you "dial in" to your BBS.

The only reason I was trying to send mail from my bbs to the point is to make sure that I could send / receive areafix requests and I don't think this will really work for me.
Would I have to build an echo list some how for the areas I wish to export to the point? I have the fidonet areas devided into a group prefixed by fidonet_ in my config.
Re: Interfacing with message bases from Ios or Android
I'm assuming you're using Aftershock.
Your settings should look something like this (these are my settings) https://photos.app.goo.gl/jq3cixkxxUFHxFWeA
problem. What I'm looking for is a common way to access the message bases on my system in a way that I do not have to be woried about what type of network they are connected to from the client side.
Though convenient, it is not required. You can type the echoMaybe that was just me. It's been quite a while since I had to
names, one per line, and HotdogEd will create a netmail to
Areafix.
set up HotDogEd, since it hasn't worked on any phone I've owned in
the past 2-3 years.

IIRC I had to adjust some settings for the HotdogEd apps on this phone.
I'm lucky it still works for me, even after it upgraded to Android 13.
Could you post your ancho.ini entry?
Hello, Khronos.
The sbbsecho.ini file is the file that describes the fidonet peers
that the bbs is linked too.
I was asuming that you were the sysop of the system your point is connected too. If your system your are linked through isn't a
Synchronet system then this process would be handled through other programs then.

Ok. You wrote "ancho.ini", that confused me...

I am the sysop, but no Synchronet here (though I intend to try it some day).
My HotdogEd points are configured in my mailer (Binkd) and tosser (FMail) just like the other points.
BTW I have connected to a Synchronet system with HotdogEd, though not as a point, but with its newsreader module (NNTP Provider). Works fine.
