Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/src/sbbs3
In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv31728

Modified Files:
sbbsecho.c sbbsecho.h
Log Message:
Implement gating support for Frank/netsurge:
1. Scan message areas based on those listed in the areas.bbs, not those listed in the msgs.cnf file (e.g. configured with SCFG->Message Areas). This allows the same message base to be scanned more than one for a different set of uplinks (i.e. gating).
2. Store the message base export pointer (in the data/subs/code.ini file) with the echotag as part of the key-name. This allows the different upstream networks to have different export pointers (though after a complete
scan the export pointers should be the same for each msg base).

Increment the version number to 2.20.

You're welcome, but as I said in irc, I'm not sure if it's exactly the solution
to your problem. This change will only allow locally posted messages (or messages imported from other services/networks) to be exported into the 2 different echoes on your 2 different uplinks. That's not really *gating* (messages imported from one network's uplink won't be "gated" to the other).

The proper way to gate an FTN echo (between 2 FTN networks) is to have both networks use the same echo tag and have have both uplinks on the same line of your areas.bbs file.

Can you check the sub's .ini file (and paste the contents here)? Also, the sbbsecho.log output would be helpful - make sure it's scanning the sub *twice* (once for each echo tag/uplink).

problem is that they are all DOS based.

well it's no surprise that much of the useful software we have is dos related. that's how we did it back in the day when it was actually popular.
if you want something for your own OS usually you gotta roll your own or rig it. either way, not really that hard if you are creative.

yes... it is the grandfather of all FTN /echomail gating/ software... i don't recall if it handled netmail or not, though... i've been working (very slowly) on a little sumptin'sumptin' to replace blackhole but it is far from anything distributable... it really isn't even alpha stage yet... it works on the same principle as blackhole, though...

1. mail comes into the system
2. toss the mail to all connected systems
3. the gating software is one of those in step 2 and has a public nodenumber
4. when the toss is complete, the gating software is executed
5. the gating software tosses the mail to all sides (consider gating one
echo to two or more FTN networks) of the gate while making the necessary
changes to the origin lines, seenbys, paths and other control lines as
needed...
6. loop to step 1

pretty basic but it does take more than one tossing run to complete everything... not really any different than using gating software like GIGO or FRED ;)

BlackHole is an inter-domain EchoMail gating
utility for FidoNet(R) technology based
networks (FTN's). It will NOT gate between
different zones in the same domain, nor
between FidoNet(R) systems and/or other
technologies such as UUCP.


you should be able to FREQ it from my system or manually pull it... telnet, http, ftp, dialup... it is located in my "LOCAL: Fidonet General" area... that's area 18 on the system if you come in manually... i believe i do have FREQs working via binkd and allfix now... FREQs to my telnet and POTS frontdoor
sides of the fences have always worked ;)

nah... these things work on the PKT level... your tosser scans the message out of the base to other nodes... one of those nodes is the gate... the software then tosses to another set of PKTs for the other side of the gate then that side's tosser tosses the messages in over there...

trying to do this stuff directly from the message bases is frought with peril... especially if one is trying to share the same base between two networks... that definitely gets origin lines all fraked up...

he asked for this "new feature".

While you are at it. If you add (some of) the following kind of AreaFix commands it will make sbbsecho even more compatible.

My tosser also supports these different kinds of rescan commands:

FMAIL_HELP /R Connect area FMAIL_HELP and rescan all messages
in the message base
FMAIL_HELP /R=50 Connect area FMAIL_HELP and rescan at most 50 messages
=FMAIL_HELP Rescan the connected area FMAIL_HELP without having
to disconnect it first

The first two, are also commands that HPT understands. It has even more rescan options:

%RESCAN <echotag> rescan area (supports name pattern)
%RESCAN <echotag> <number> rescan the last <number> mails
%RESCAN <tag> <number> days rescan mails for the last <number> days
%RESCAN rescan the areas following in the next lines <echotag> /r - subscribe & rescan area
<echotag> /r=<number> - add area & rescan the last <number> mails <echotag> /r=<number> days - add area & rescan mails for the last
<number> days

Crashmail does it a little different:

[+]areaname[,R=<max>] Connect to an area. The '+' is optional. If
the R option is specified after the area,
the specified number of old messages in the area
will be rescanned and sent to you.
=areaname[,R=<max>] Update. You can use this to rescan an area which you
already are connected to.

%RESCAN All areas that are added or updated after this
line will be rescanned, that is all old messages
in those areas will be sent to you. This can be
very dangerous since you don't know how many
messages you will get so in most cases, it is
better to use the R option when adding/updating
areas instead.

And Fastecho has these:

%RESCAN <- Rescan following area(s) and add if area(s)
FASTECHO.GER is/are not linked yet

%DAYS 7 <- Rescan only messages not older than 7 days
SHAREWRE

%MSGS 100 <- Rescan at most 100 messages each area
FE_HELP

FDECHO, R <- Alternative way to rescan a single area
FDECHO.GER, R=300 <- Rescan up to 300 messages of that area
=* <- Rescan all linked areas (needs %RESCAN)


Bye, Wilfred.

That's a warning, not an error. And it's not new. And you can ignore it.

If you just used mkstemp rather than tempnam, you wouldn't have to
answer this question all the time :)

The 2 functions don't do the same thing. *and* mkstemp isn't as common/standard in C runtime libraries.

Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/src/sbbs3
In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv20899

Modified Files:
sbbsecho.c sbbsecho.h
Log Message:
Export/import the original message editor column width (when known) as a new FidoNet "Kludge line" (control line): "\1COLS: <columns>\r" where <columns>
is a value between 0 and 255 and a value of 0 is special, meaning "unknown"
and not normally specified (this is the default assumption when there is no "columns"/COLS header field). When a message editor column width is unknown,
is is normally assumed to have been 80 columns for word-wrapping/re-wrapping purposes when displaying the message text.

This feature has worked well for Synchronet's QWK networking (i.e. there are far fewer instances of word-wrapping/re-wrapping issues when viewing messages on DOVE-Net), so I decided to support this message header field over FTN (SBBSecho) as well. Hopefully other FidoNet software authors will notice and support this header field in the future as there are still numerous examples
of word-wrap issues when viewing FidoNet messages. At least Synchronet <-> Synchronet systems over FidoNet should be able to re-wrap and display all message text nicely when both ends support this kludge line.

Incremented SBBSecho version number to 3.07.

Increase the maximum TicPwd len from 8 to 40 chars. Although SBBSecho

Log Message:
Automatically route in-transit mail to points to boss nodes

If the destination point node is not a linked node (does not exist in sbbsecho.ini), but the boss node is linked, automatically route to the boss node. The log entries look like this when this happens:
"Routing packet (%s) to boss-node %s"
"Routing NetMail (%s) to boss-node %s"

For poindexter FORTRAN (REALITY) - test results appreciated.

Incremented SBBSecho version to 3.13.

src/sbbs3/sbbsecho.c sbbsecho.h
Log Message:
When processing AreaRequest with -R (rescan), rescan existing echoes too

If the body of the request mesages message contains a list of area-tags,
even if we already have the node linked to those echoes, do the rescan for
each listed echo. Previously, only newly-added echoes would be rescanned
via this method.

Apparently the D'bridge built-in method of generating AreaManager requests
uses this syntax (per Ward Dossche).

Also, when rescanning due to AreaManager rescan request and generating a response netmail message, include the total number of messages exported as a result.

Increase SBBSecho version number to v3.22 (Please upgrade, Fernando) :-)

Log Message:
Automatically enable "EchoList Only" areamgr mode when EchoList Keys are used

Logs a warning when doing so since this might be confusing if a sysop specifically left this setting disabled ("Allow Users to Add Areas from Area List" set to "Yes", the default, in echocfg) with EchoLists configured with Required Keys.

This should automatically solve the "non-intuitive" configuration issue reported via DOVE-net by poindexter FORTRAN (REALITY).

Yep, and you're welcome for my answer too, which explained it, but you couldn't be bothered to acknowledge... :-\
