Hello TassieBob!

On 10 Jul 2022, TassieBob said the following...

 Ta>   node 21:3/100 -4 n3.z21.bbs.leenooks.net:24554 pass,pass,pass -
 Ta>   node 1337:2/100 -4 n2.z1337.bbs.leenooks.net:24554 pass,pass,pass -

Try changing this to 21:3/100@fsxnet and 1337:2/100@tqwnet, and also make sure
to include the domain in your address lines if you haven't already, e.g.:

address 21:3/169@fsxnet
address 1337:2/<your node number>@tqwnet

....to see if that makes any difference, as one blurb in the config says that:

# If the first address is specified as a 3D/4D address, its domain will be
# taken from the domain defined in the first "domain" line. If more addresses
# are specified as 3D/4D ones, their domain will be taken from the first
# address.

The last part there might be why it "borrows" the fsxnet domain for your
additional addresses (1337:2/<your node number>).

 Ta> I note that for Fidonet, I could specify a root-domain (binkp.net

 Ta> or tqwnet...

I have added "fsxnet.nz" to my config, although I see now that it doesn't seem to resolve my address:

host n202.n1.z21.fsxnet.nz
Host n202.n1.z21.fsxnet.nz not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

....so maybe Avon will have to chime in on the details here. :)

 Ta> I don't have the Perl nodelist stuff setup for binkd at the moment - is
 Ta> that the fix?

No, that should not be needed.

 Ta> Am I wrong in assuming I should be able to send netmail to a node listed
 Ta> in a node line without needing a binkp.net style lookup or nodelist?

Yes, I think so.

And if you want binkd to be able to send to any node (e.g. for crashmail), you would add something like:

defnode *

....at the end. But this of course requires that the root domain has been set for each network so that it can resolve the FTN address to an IP number.

Hope this helps!

Best regards
