Greetings All!

On my hub where I host fidonet and micronet for other systems, their netmail ends up in my netmail, looking at the logs it still appears to send it on to the correct system but why is it showing up where I can read others netmail? I have proper routing, etc. I do use carbon copy but that should be only stuff addressed to me no? It happens with both fidonet and micronet netmail.

Thoughts on what I can look for?

Hello, Rick!

Wednesday August 30 2023 09:41, from Rick Smith -> All:

On my hub where I host fidonet and micronet for other systems, their netmail ends up in my netmail,

This behavior is by design. Husky *hpt toss* will process incoming unpacked pkts and bundles and will store all netmail messages in the configured *NetmailArea* area. If the destination address of the netmail is not your system then you will see the attribute *in-transit*. The following call to *hpt pack* will pack netmail messages using the routing config and will remove in-transit netmail messages from NetmailArea area.

Nil

Because it is not your netmail folder - it is THE netmail folder.
Think of it as a node system netmail folder.

squish uses a "KillInTransit" keyword but according to Nil this seems to be the default behavior for hpt.

If your workflow is "hpt toss", use editor, "hpt pack" then you could try to do "hpt toss ; hpt pack", use editor, "hpt pack".

The first one is good for debugging. The second for daily usage.

Ah so its how I pull it up via script?

#!/bin/bash
fconf2golded -a /usr/local/tools/golded/myareas.cfg
golded -c/usr/local/tools/golded/golded.cfg
hpt toss scan pack

Thats my current script to fire up golded?

Rick

You may use "AREAFILE fidoconfig /usr/local/tools/golded/myareas.cfg" in golded.cfg instead fconf2golded -a /usr/local/tools/golded/myareas.cfg.

I do it this way so that when I run the script for editor I get all the current areas, so if areafix created a new area then I will have it in editor.

This is not required now. Golded can read the list of echo areas directly from the husky config.

I use separate areafiles for each network and have them in config as includes. Can the AREAFILE statement be repeated for each areafile?

You should point to the main fidoconfig with all includes inside it.

Thank you, not sure how we got on this as I had a Netmail ? which has now been resolved. MY fidoconfig and includes all work as they should...

Thank you again

Do you have one config file that is used for the -c <config> switches?

If you INCLUDE area config files in the FIDOCONFIG then the includes are part of the one FIDOCONFIG (the initial config file set by huskymak.cfg CFGDIR/CFGNAME variable).

Can the AREAFILE statement be repeated for each areafile?

Thanks to the includes the one and only required areafile is the fidoconfig:

golded.cfg:

AREAFILE fidoconfig /etc/fido/config

This should read all areadefinitions of your seperate areafiles too.

Btw, that's what the fconf2golded tool does. It reads the FIDOCONF with all includes and write them into the golded area file. It gives you an additional write to your filesystem but the read content should be the same.

Kai
