Hello, Tommi!

Sunday September 14 2025 10:06, from Tommi Koivula -> Nil Alexandrov:

 NA>> I am trying to understand why
 NA>> jamnntpd/smapinntpd will write my from address
 NA>> 2:5015/46 in reverse order like this
 NA>> <0@46.5015.2>. Is it a bug or a feature? I guess
 NA>> it is a feature but then what kind of issue it
 NA>> tries to solve?

 TK> It is a feature. Some nntp clients dont like chars : and / in the
 TK> email address. That is the way to show ftn address in email-like
 TK> format.

I understand that part but still why using a point number as a username before the @ symbol? Why writing the FTN address in reverse order? Why not follow say http://ftsc.org/docs/frl-1002.001 user.name@pPP.fFF.nNN.zZZ.gateway.domain ?

Also, there is a bug with the X-SMAPI-From field, which I will try to investigate later
X-SMAPI-From: Dmitry Protasoff <0:0/0.0>
X-SMAPI-To: Nil A <2:5001/100.1>

Best Regards, Nil
