So my hub 3 is a hub for a couple of networks, and I noticed a few folks sending me netmails at the hub - which would be OK normally, but I dont check it that often.

So I've updated hpt to send you a message back if you attempt to message anybody at the hub. (Areafix and filefix should still be OK for those whose uplink is the hub.)

What would be helpful is if you can test it - you should get a routed bounce reply back.

Oh, and if you want to test that your netmail is working, just send a message to anybody at the hub (21:3/100), and if you get a bounce reply back, you know your netmail is working too ;)

So I updated this so that if you send your message to ping@21:3/100, you wont get a "bounce" message, but rather a ping reply message. :)

Just tested. I sent a message to Deon George@21:3/100 and got a bounce back with the subject "Unable to deliver your Netmail".

Then sent a test to Areafix@21:3/100 with %HELP in the body and that was processed normally.

Will routed netmail still work? e.g. I just sent a test netmail to Doug Cooper@21:1/165 which I route through 21:3/100.

I didn't get a bounce back so I'm assuming this will be delivered to The Godfather?

Yay it works! :)

Phew :)

Yes, I see mail was transferred between you two - so it will still work. (Let me know if it isnt.)

The next thing I'm working on is sending an undeliverable message when you netmail a node that doesnt exist. It'll be for mail to a Hub 3 destination (I see the random netmail addressed to destinations that dont exist) - so hopefully you'll get a message instead of wondering "Why havent they responded?"

eg: Adept, I see a message from you to dejavu@21:3/128 which wont be delivered because 3/128 doesnt exist :)

...ëîåï

... Take what you can use and let the rest go by.

Well, huh. Dejavu! You gave me a wrong address!

...or I got it wrong in typing it in.

I was mostly attempting to test things while the net 2 hub was down, and that was one of the unsuccessful tests. :)

Yup, I got a response back from Doug already, so it's confirmed working.
Thank you sir!

That'll be good for when I fat-finger some destinations or have semi-dyslexic moments. I'm sure I must have sent some areafix requests your way to the
wrong destination.

Sorry Adept. I merged two netmail addresses together when I told you you the other one. I'm dejavu@21:3/114 :)

Sorry about that!
