Hello There,

I have done another recent fresh install of SBBS v3.17 for Linux. SBBS is setup
in a FTN to use a point AKA. When a "Test" echomail message is generated SBBS looks to generate a AKA of 0/0 instead of using it's assigned point AKA address of 21:1/128.1.

@TZUTC: -0600
@MSGID: 1.fsx_gen@21:1/128.1 1c9e31f4
@PID: Synchronet 3.17a-Linux Nov 25 2016 GCC
@TID: SBBSecho 3.00-Linux r3.26 Nov 25 2016 GCC 5.4.0

@PATH: 0/0 1/128 100

I have SBBS setup to use the correct point AKA and it does include the correct AKA in the origin line but not in the individual message path. I have generated
several test messages and all show of 0/0.

Any thoughts?

PATH lines only support 2D addresses, so point address aren't added PATHs. Most likely that 0/0 is coming from somewhere else (not your AKAs).

What's your AREAS.BBS line look for this echo?

Hello Digital Man,

I have done another recent fresh install of SBBS v3.17 for Linux. SBBS is
setup
in a FTN to use a point AKA. When a "Test" echomail message is generated
SBBS looks to generate a AKA of 0/0 instead of using it's assigned point >> AKA address of 21:1/128.1.

Most likely that 0/0 is coming from somewhere else (not your AKAs).
What's your AREAS.BBS line look for this echo?

The test messages were sent in two different echos with corresponding AREAS.BBS
entries of:

FSX_GEN FSX_GEN 21:1/128
FIDOTEST FIDOTEST 1:282/1031

So, since I am using a point address SBBS isn't/can't adding that AKA as the origin AKA to the path?

That conclusion is based on the fact that if I generate a test message using a non point Fido address then SBBS seems to add the correct origin AKA (1:282/1032) to the message path.

Hello There,

Checking the correct message path.

I am not trying to arbitrarily place responsibility but am looking to understand what is happening and why. Currently, SBBS is generating the message
and sending it to BBBS who in turn sends the message onward.

Is it possible that BBBS is adding those addresses to the PATH? Based on your areas.bbs file, SBBSecho should only be putting *one* address in the PATH.
