Hi Stephen,

On 2024-11-17 12:42:34, you wrote to me:

 SW>>> Are you doing the same for fido?

There is a bit of a vanity factor in above host name ;), and I may change my
mind about it in the future. So I also made f464.n280.z2.fidoweb.net, that will
 always resolve to my node in the future and not change on a whim. So you could
 also use that in your configuration.

To reflect this in the host name, I made it a cname "chain":

# host fmailhq.fidoweb.net
fmailhq.fidoweb.net is an alias for f464.n280.z2.fidoweb.net.
f464.n280.z2.fidoweb.net is an alias for fidoweb.net.
fidoweb.net has address 45.83.243.76
fidoweb.net has IPv6 address 2a10:3781:26c9:1:f1d0:2:280:464
fidoweb.net mail is handled by 10 sink.arpa.

And I did the same for the the amiganet host name:

# host amiganet.fidoweb.net
amiganet.fidoweb.net is an alias for z39.fidoweb.net.
z39.fidoweb.net is an alias for f200.n150.z39.fidoweb.net.
f200.n150.z39.fidoweb.net is an alias for fidoweb.net.
fidoweb.net has address 45.83.243.76
fidoweb.net has IPv6 address 2a10:3781:26c9:1:f1d0:2:280:464
fidoweb.net mail is handled by 10 sink.arpa.


Bye, Wilfred.
