   Hello Martin,   
      
   On Saturday April 13 2024 11:40, you wrote to Wilfred van Velzen:

   Pardon me for saying so, but it is my not so humble opinion that as late in   
   the game as 2020 it is not very smart to start an alternet with a zone number   
   that is already in use. It is not a secret that most FTN software can not   
   properly deal with duplicate zone numbers.   
      
   Having said that: I never understood the need for all these alternets in the   
   first place...   
      
   Anyway, Fmail does not support it and in all likehood never will. It is just   
   not worth the effort and making substantial changes to the config file will   
   create backward compatibility problems with other software that interacts with   
   Fmail. Wilfred had better spent his time on other things. Let those who   
   created the problem of duplicate zone numbers sort it out among themselves.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
