  • Unable to Send NetMail

    From Tom Moore@VERT to All on Sun Jan 25 22:49:38 2026
    Hi,
    I'm not sure when this started, but I am unable to send NetMail through my Synchronet system.
    When I send a NetMail to areafix@1:xxx/xxx the system says this is an invalid Netmail address.
    Where do I look to fix this?

    Hi,
    I'm not sure when this started, but I am unable to send NetMail through my Synchronet system.

    It most likely started with this commit: https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/4aa2274c97e8e79e46d3d757fce898a

    When I send a NetMail to areafix@1:xxx/xxx the system says this is an invalid Netmail address.
    Where do I look to fix this?

    SCFG->Networks->FidoNet->Allow Sending of NetMail set to "Yes"?

    Is "1:xxx/xxx" one of *your* FTN addresses?

    After setting the allow netmail option to yes again this fixed the
    issue.
    Yes the address I was trying to send a request towards was the hub for
    the FidoNet networkthat I am a member of.

    Okay, good. That was change in behavior, which I noted in the commit message. --
