Hello all,

Not sure if this is enough information to get some direction on my Fido setup issue i am having. This is what I see when I try to send areafix netmail.

I can't seem to find what I have configured wrong. Thanks in advance for any direction. Xofraq

That hostname seems to resolve for me:
$ host f59.n3634.z1.binkp.net
f59.n3634.z1.binkp.net is an alias for microbur.synchro.net. microbur.synchro.net has address 108.233.175.10

But... it's resolving to *your* BBS? You're trying to send an areafix netmail to yourself?

the only thing I can think of is that the binkp.net domain is causing you troubles.

There have been issues lately with the binkp.net resolving fidonet-style addresses to an IP address.

You can avoid that by defining the location of a nodelist file on your
BBS machine, in the [domain] section for Fidonet, in your sbbsecho.ini
file.

It's documented here: https://wiki.synchro.net/config:sbbsecho.ini#domain_sections

That way, the calling system can just use the normal domain name for the
called system as defined by the "INA:" part of the nodelist entry.

I think he mentioned a little while back that he was trying to set up a
point off of his main system.

the only thing I can think of is that the binkp.net domain is causing you troubles.

I made some changes and now getting this:

You can avoid that by defining the location of a nodelist file on your
BBS machine, in the [domain] section for Fidonet, in your sbbsecho.ini
file.

I did update to point to the nodelist file. I am not getting the error any more, but I never get a response.

Well, the answer to that probably lies in your log(s). On my system,
which may not be configured the same as yours, it's in 'sbbs.log'. It
is VERY likely to be a password mismatch between you and your FidoNet
hub. Check the log and see what it says when you try to send the
Areafix netmail. If it is indeed a password issue you'll have to work
that out with your uplink (hub).
