I fixed some low-hanging fruit bugs in Soupgate, but when it was working I realized that Soupgate is alpha quality software. Sopugate's FTN<->RFC gating was a mess 20 years ago and it doesn't help that there have been several new RFCs for the Internet Message Format released since then.

It would be nice to have a simple Soupgate-like program, but Soupgate itself is trash and would need some work and modernization to be really useful. Nobody should use this software as it is for public gateways.

Try Fidogate: https://github.com/ykaliuta/fidogate

Unfortunately not as simple to configure, but for people who mastered the steep learning curve of hpt it should be doable ;-).
