• alias.cfg and multiple domains

    From Rampage@1:103/705 to All on Sat Dec 29 13:14:33 2018
    i have several domains defined that my system accepts email for... if i list an alias in alias.cfg, do i just need to put the name portion of the address or do i need to list that for the first domain and then list it again with other domains?

    eg:
    foo 3
    foo@domain2.invalid 3
    foo@domain3.invalid 3

    or does foo cover all the listed domains in scfg?

    thanks!

    I do believe that if you have domains listed in domains.cfg, then wildcards in alias.cfg would be accepted, therefore foo* 3 would intpret as either foo; foo@domain2.invalid; foo@domain3.invalid; foo@domain*; etc

    just 'foo' is all you need. And the domains are listed in ctrl/domains.cfg, not in SCFG.

    Yes, I'm pretty sure that's correct, foo covers all the listed domains.

    thanks :)

    And the domains are listed in ctrl/domains.cfg, not in SCFG.

    yeah, i realized that after the message had already gone out...

    'nother question... what problems am i lible to run into when changing my domain name in the configs? i think i'm fixing to drop my dynip.com DDNS which will knock me down to only one domain to deal with... that'll kinda mark the final end of my old setup and i've got until Feb 2019 to decide and let others know... i'm in dove-net so i have my sestar.synchro.net that i want to switch over to and put in everything... i'm just a little unsure of what i'll run into
    when i do it... i see my current domain used in some message ids but i don't know how extensive that is or if some regurge of messages will take place when i change the domain if it plays a part in message management... that's probably
    a stupid question but the concern is there...

    do i need to do anything special in the bbs list for my entry? or will it be updated automatically the next time my system exports an update? if i have to do something manually, i remember to do it with my other account over there that created the bbs list entry ;)

    i can see where this will change my entry in the sbbsimsg.lst file, too...

    the only other place i can see my wpusa.dynip.com domain mentioned is in the ssl.cert file... will that be regenerated automatically or do i need to edit/delete a file to cause it to regenerate? i am wanting to do that letsencrypt thing, too... with only one domain, that'll be easier so maybe i'll
    wait on that until decision time...

    "over there"? If you created the bbs list entry on your own BBS (which is the normal way), then wouldn't it be your sysop account (normally, user #1) on your BBS?

    Anyway, you can have multiple domain names for BBS services in the BBS list or you can change them and it'll re-export to the SYNCDATA echo automatically.

    i can see where this will change my entry in the sbbsimsg.lst file, too...

    Yup, that file is created from the sbbslist.json here on Vertrauen (which contains entries imported from SYNCDATA) - so that should all get updated automatically.

    the only other place i can see my wpusa.dynip.com domain mentioned is in the ssl.cert file... will that be regenerated automatically or do i need to edit/delete a file to cause it to regenerate?

    That, I'm no sure. By default, it's self-signed, so it may auto-re-generate. If not, you could just delete the file and it'll get recreated.

    i am wanting to do that
    letsencrypt thing, too... with only one domain, that'll be easier so maybe i'll
    wait on that until decision time...

    Sure. I'm not sure, but I think you can add additional domains later to your letsyncrypt.ini file later as well.

    sorry, yeah because i'm writing from my point system and the bbs is "over there" ;)

    If you created the bbs list entry on your own BBS (which is the normal way),

    yep, that's the way i did it...

    then wouldn't it be your sysop account (normally, user #1) on your
    BBS?

    yup^2... that's the account i was messing with trying to get the names right that messed up the list before and you had to do something manually to clear it...

    Anyway, you can have multiple domain names for BBS services in the BBS list or you can change them and it'll re-export to the SYNCDATA echo automatically.

    that's what i ended up doing... i was looking/hoping to find something like the
    auto-configure thing at the beginning when you first create the record... i manually edited the sysop name field and then the 9 protocol entries... then manually triggered sbl2smb and everything went from there...

    i can see where this will change my entry in the sbbsimsg.lst file,
    too...

    Yup, that file is created from the sbbslist.json here on Vertrauen (which contains entries imported from SYNCDATA) - so that should all get updated automatically.

    so i should see the new stuff in the morning... cool :)

    ok... i remember i had to allow an exception in my browser when i tested https... i haven't been giving out the https url, though... it there setting for automatic redirection from http to https?

    i am wanting to do that letsencrypt thing, too... with only one domain,
    that'll be easier so maybe i'll wait on that until decision time...

    Sure. I'm not sure, but I think you can add additional domains later

    that would be so cool...

    does anything happen when a http connection is made and https is present and more desirable? i asked about a setting but not having one doesn't mean that the system doesn't already redirect to the https side... i'm just curious because this will be the first time i've offered https and i see how that is preferred... especially that a lot of sites redirect to the https side if you connect via http...

    Your web pages could do that (e.g. with JavaScript) if you like. Or possibly via webctrl.ini file changes.
