  • Change aka when sending netmail

    From DesotoFireflite@VERT/VALHALLA to All on Mon Mar 27 19:16:28 2017
    How do you change to a different aka when sending netmail to a different network in the from field.

    Let's say I want to send a netmail to Name@427:10/2, thats easy, it finds the address if you have sbbsecho configured right, but how do you change the from field to the same network. It always uses my fido address, and I don't want to route a non fido netmail through my fido hub (very bad karma) Since I'm Name@427:10/1, I would like to reflect this address in the from field. Can it be done. Thanks

    open scfg and under Networks > Fidonet Echomail and Netmail > System Addresses a small box will open that will allow you to put all your AKA's.

    Then when you enter a non-fido address, it will chose the one with the proper zone.

    Thanks Bill, I knew it was something simple I was overlooking. I really think I'm going brain Dead.
