Greetings Phoobar!


I sent you a fido netmail, because of issues I have been having could you let me know here if you do not receive it?

Appreciate it...

Hi

Have a question regarding netmail - for each network (FSX, Retro, Fido,etc), does it make sense to have a netmail area, or do you really only need to have one netmail for all?

Hopefully that makes sense?

If your BBS does AKA matching you can just have one netmail area. Mystic does AKA matching well so you only need one netmail area.

You can have one netmail area per net if you like but you don't need to.

Hopefully that makes sense?

It makes perfect sense.

I think it depends on the tosser and the BBS program. When I ran Maximus I needed to have separate areas, or use a program to munge together separate netmail areas into one user area. With Synchronet, it seems to be able to figure zones out just fine.

I assume you're talking about Mystic (going by your tearline). Only need one netmail area, though it is possible to have one per net. But at the time I originally installed Mystic, I found a single netmail area worked better for
