    From Rick Smith@1:340/202 to All on Sat Apr 25 13:21:25 2020
    Greeings,

    So during all these netmail issues, it posed a question to myself that I
    cannot find an answer to. Can you send inter-network netmail? So could I
    send from say 21:1/190.1 to 1:340/202.1 etc? Just curious...

    yes as long as there is a system in both networks performing the task of zonegating the messages between the two networks...

    it should be noted that if the two addresses you gave in your example are your's and on the same system, the message should not go anywhere because your software should recognize the addresses as belonging to it... you'd have to test between addresses on two separate systems...

    Hello Rick,

    I have both of those networks, so such a message would (should!) pass through here and get moving in the right direction.

    It's good practice though to route fido through a fidonet node and fsxnet mail through an fsxnet node. It has a better chance of getting where it is going without failing.

    If you route an fsxnet mail to a fido node it may arrive at a system that isn't fsxnet connected and so it will fail at that point.

    Ttyl :-),

    I do not know about routing netmail through other systems, but you can send
    it like that via a direct connection. I have had a conversation going on
    with a system in Zone 2 who is sending his responses back to my Zone 618 address.

    Fun fact netmail sent within fsxNet to Fidonet will route to 3:770/1 and onwards.

    fsxNet addressed netmail routed to 3:770/1 *should* find it's way to the Zone 21 node.

    FWIW: i (will) have a routing statement in place to route 21:ALL to 3:770/1 as i continue work on my overall routing setup here...

    Cool, I would do that, except I can already route to 21:1/100. :D


    ... Bend the facts to fit the conclusion. It's easier that way.

    I went into my config to enter this and saw it was already there. Must have been there long enough to forget about it.. ;-)

    Weel it is there.

    Not that I expect it will ever be invoked. Or it must be from someone accidentally routing 21:* traffic through me.


    Cheers, Michiel
