      > points are not single users in all cases... back in the late 80's i was       > running a multi-node BBS where each node had its own point number...              Sure, point can be multi-user BBS, but it should not be. Problem here is       Fidonet Policy 4.07 (is it still valid?):              Section 1.2.1.2:              > A point is generally regarded in the same manner as a user, for example,       > the bossnode is responsible for mail from the point.              Section 2.1.3:              > The sysop listed in the nodelist entry is responsible for all traffic       > entering FidoNet via that system. This includes (but is not limited to)       > traffic entered by users, points, and any other networks for which the system       > might act as a gateway.              ...but this is getting off topic here.              > point addresses are allowed in MSGID and INTL control lines... they always       > have been...              FTS-0001 says INTL is z:n/n, point in TOPT + FMPT. I read it as "not allowed".       BBBS uses that format when exporting messages, but supports z:n/n.p when       importing.              Anyway, I just changed MSGID to include point.              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Dada-1        * Origin: * BCG-Box, On The Air Since 11th February 1987! * (2:22/222)    |
