      MSGID: 2:250/1@fidonet 626ff6d4       CHRS: UTF-8 2       TZUTC: 0100       TID: MBSE-FIDO 1.0.8 (Linux-x86_64)       Hello All!              I have a few AKA's listed in the nodelist as I am the host for 2:25.              This means that I have recorded the following :              2:25/0 as its in the nodelist for region 25 UK and Ireland       2:250/0 Ditto for UK       2:263/0 Ditto for Ireland              and two for new sysops to get through as :       2:25/999 and 2:25/9999 I should have also used 2:250 with these two values        but       as I have issues using what I do use have not done so.              Now the issue is if anything gets generated from where ever including within       this system if any comes in and as I cannot put these two addresses (2:25/0        and       2:25/0) into it as the routing system only plays with down/up links it ends up       as a loop going between my main routing to Ward at 2:0 before coming back when       my system calls itself creating a very large loop.              The routing table looks like this :              19. ROUTING TABLE               1. 1:317/3 Direct 1:317/3@fidonet        2. 1:All Route to 1:3634/12@fidonet        3. 2:240/1120 Direct 2:240/1120@fidonet        4. 2:25/All Default 0:0/0        5. 2:250/All Default 0:0/0        6. 2:263/1 Route to 2:263/1@fidonet        7. 2:263/5 Route to 2:263/5@fidonet        8. 2:301/1 Direct 2:301/1@fidonet        9. 2:371/52 Direct 2:371/52@fidonet        10. 2:All Route to 2:292/854@fidonet        11. 3:All Route to 2:292/854@fidonet        12. 4:All Route to 2:292/854@fidonet              You can see that traffic for 2:25 and 2:250 are set to Default hence       possible/probable cause.              So without fixing the way the routing table system works should I remove my       AKS's for 2:25/0 and 2:250/0 and will it cause any other issues ?              This issue does not happen often but does happen so would like to fix it as it       can cause issues for not only me and my uplink and produces odd traffic from       the original source of the netmail - maybe ? such as an address at 4:490.                     Vincent              --- Mageia Linux v8 X64/Mbse v1.0.8/GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: Air Applewood, The Linux Gateway to the UK & Eire (2:250/1)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 15/0 18/0 200 25/0 999 9999 90/1 105/81 106/201       SEEN-BY: 120/340 123/0 25 131 180 200 755 129/305 330 331 135/300       SEEN-BY: 138/146 153/7715 154/10 218/700 222/2 226/30 227/114 229/110       SEEN-BY: 229/111 206 317 400 424 426 428 452 470 550 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 250/0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 261/38 263/0 266/512 275/100       SEEN-BY: 275/1000 282/1038 292/854 299/6 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/11 200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 1321 3634/0 12 15       SEEN-BY: 3634/27 50 119 5020/1042       PATH: 250/1 3634/12 153/7715 229/426           |
