Re: File attachments...

Hiya DM...
I'm not sure if this can be done but I tried it sending a netmail from my system through the HUB (located on the Pi) with a file attach.
According to FTS-1, you're not supposed to be able to do this:
2. Transport Layer Protocol : Routing
FidoNet does not necessarily send a message directly to
its
destination. To reduce the number of network connections, mail
to a
subset of the nodelist may be routed to one node for further
distribution within that subset. In addition, custom
routing is
possible. Routing of a message is determined in one of three
ways.
o If there are files attached, then a message must be sent
directly to
its destination.
The main
system sends the CUT and the attached file just fine. The HUB receives both in the secure inbound folder where sbbsecho tosses it but it seems to ahve a problem there. This is the message I get
ERROR line 470, attachment file not found: c:\sbbs\data\file/0001.out/test.txt
As you can see, sbbsecho is looking for the attached test file in ../sbbs/data/file and not finding it because it's still in the ../sbbs/sportnet/secure inbound folder.
Issue??
I just commited a change to update the file path in the netmail subject for file attaches when exporting netmail from packets to .msg files.
This should fix at least that error, but I'm not sure if you're
actually going to be able to "route attachments" as you're attempting. Give it a try.

FWIW: frontdoor has been able to route attached files for decades...
i'm pretty sure that binkleyterm can as well... when FTS-0001 was
written, sure, routing of files was not to be done but the key wording
is "without the permission of all systems along the path" which i
believe comes from policy and not from the technical standards... FTS-0001, in particular, is a sticky case when it comes to updating/changing it... copyright and all that rot being in the way ;)
