Hello everybody.
I am setting up SBBS v15 for the first time and am in the process of
setting up Fidonet netmail. Im a bit confused between the way I used
to do it and the way SBBS wants to do it. Im used to using Goled and having Golded create a flag to get HPT to toss/pack it out. But with SBBSECHO , regardless of whether I author a netmail in SBBS in the
netmail area configured in SBBS or in Golded. SBBSECHO fails to see
the netmail let alone toss and pack it out. Im using BinkD as a
mailer. I am sure I am missing something simple.
Further, when I try to enter a netmail message in SBBS it asks to enter
a nodes address as
n:nnn/nnn@fidonet. Which is ok. But if I were wanting to lets say send
an areafix netmail
message using SBBS. There doesn't seem to be an option to address it correctly. As in:

Never heard of v15... are you sure you don't mean v3.15?
Neither have I. <grin> It should have read v3.15.

I am pretty sure Synch uses a propriatary message base so I'm not sure HPT can handle the tossing/packing part. I don't run a FLO mailer here so which directory the netmail goes I'm unsure of. If you're using GoldEd to create a netmail then I can't see why Ssbbsecho even has to touch it. If I am in a hurry I use FD's editor to create netmail. Being I'm using *.MSG it gets saved directly to my netmail folder where a SEM is created to tell my
mailer and off it goes.
SBBS has a separate directory for netmail. But that directory isn't in
the msgs.cnf file for golded to read. I can setup a netmail directory separate from SBBS but of course SBBSECHO has no way of knowing. If I setup a netmail message area in SBBS and create a netmail message. SBBS seems to look at it as another echomail area. There doesn't seem to be
a way to configure a message area in SBBS as netmail and tossed as
such. I'm sure I am missing something here.

Within Synch's editor or any 3rd party editor while logged in, on the To: line, address it as such: areafix@1:nnn/nnnn
Tried that. Didn't work. In fact the text of the areafix message showed
up in the webserver log window in the SBBS control panel.Ag
Sorry I couldn't help you much past that...
Thanks anyway. Always willing to look at a situation from a different angle.

In the Config, under Networks/Fidonet Echo and Netmail there is a spot to tell it where your netmail folder is along with inbound folder. You don't need to configure a specific sub for netmail. Echomail is the only configurable sub.
Let me clear up a misunderstanding that I had. I was trying to create
an netmail message using the SBBS's web interface. <Feeling foolish> I hadn't logged in locally or via telnet to try to enter a netmail. An option to enter a netmail message doesn't seem to be available via the
web interface. An "netmail" message area (Sub) was only available IF I created a sub named netmail. Which has been pointed out was not the correct procedure. Once I logged in via telnet I was able to create a netmail message and SBBSECHO promptly scan-n-packed it out. Which BinkD promptly sent out.
Sorry for sounding a tad dense on how SBBS was doing things.
