Hello everybody!

For those of you running SBBS and using Golded, what is your setup to read Synchronet E-mail and Fidonet netmail? I have 2 seperate setting, one for E-mail (smb) and the other for netmail (Opus).

AREADEF Syncmail "Synchronet E-Mail" N Net SMB z:\sbbs\data\mail . (Net Pvt) "Live Wire BBS"

AREADEF NETMAIL "FTN Netmail" N Net OPUS z:\sbbs\fido\netmail . (Net Pvt) "Live Wire BBS"


Thanks,
Sabre

This one by itself should read both email and Fidonet netmail, since it is all stored in the mail base.

* However, don't try to write anything there, as you risk corrupting your mail base.

AREADEF NETMAIL "FTN Netmail" N Net OPUS z:\sbbs\fido\netmail . (Net Pvt) "Live Wire BBS"

I'm guessing this one does nothing for you. Synchronet's "netmail" is stored in the same base as email (/sbbs/data/mail.*). This is why you shouldn't write to it, because Golded doesn't know the difference between what is BBS email, POP/SMTP email, or netmail.

ok, I see now. I do use the second netmail with GoldED, SBBS see's it and sendsout that mail. But from a GoldED point, I can't use the SMB E-mail to write netmail. So really GoldED can't use E-mail/Netmail to write outbound mail.

Thanks,
Sabre
