Yeah.... Um... <BR>
<BR>
I gotta say there is something wrong with that part of the REWRITE file and how JNOS performs with messages to local users.<BR>
<BR>
First, all other aspects of my REWRITE file appear to work correctly, EXCEPT for local users sending messages to local users. That part of the rewrite file doesn't work correctly what-so-ever.<BR>
<BR>
My JNOS station call is kg6baj.<BR>
<BR>
My line in my REWRITE file for local stations looks like this:<BR>
====================<BR><A href="mailto:*@kg6baj">*@kg6baj</A> $1<BR>
<A href="mailto:*@kg6baj">*@kg6baj</A>.* $1<BR>
====================<BR>
<BR>
This just flat out doesn't work when one local user sends to another local user.<BR>
<BR>
Please note: The VERY LAST line in my REWRITE file is "* hold" so that anything not caught by the other rules gets put into the HOLD area and I can review it for adding in more rules. <BR>
<BR>
With this, any local user sending a message to any other local user, those messages get caught in the HOLD area and not the intended local users mail area.<BR>
<BR>
Here are some observations.<BR>
<BR>
Observation #1<BR>
When a local user sends to another local user, they DO NOT add "<A href="mailto:...@KG6BAJ">...@KG6BAJ</A>" to the end of their "SP" command. They address it like this:<BR>
"SP KC6QDK" NOT like this ---> "SP KC6QDK@KG6BAJ"<BR>
<BR>
Observation #2<BR>
IF THEY DID USE "SP KC6QDK@KG6BAJ" then <U>IT DOES</U> get dilivered correctly<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Observation #3-a<BR>
JNOS does not appear to be APPENDING an HROUTE to mail sent from local users to local users.<BR>
If JNOS were to append an hroute, then a mail sent to "SP KC6QDK" would look like this "SP KC6QDK@KG6BAJ.#NCA.CA.USA.NOAM"<BR>
(Noting here that the HROUTE would have to come from my <U>USERS.DAT</U> file when local users register at my station)<BR>
<BR>
Observation #3-b<BR>
If an hroute were to be appended, the rewrite rule of "<A href="mailto:*@kg6baj">*@kg6baj</A>.* $1" <U><EM>should</EM></U> kick in and local mail <U><EM>should</EM></U> get delivered correctly.(Note <EM><U>"should"</U></EM>)<BR>
<BR>
Observation #4<BR>
When a local user sends to another local user, and does not specify an "<A href="mailto:..@KG6BAJ">...@KG6BAJ</A>" to the end of it, I've looked at the VERBOSE contents of the mail delivered to the HOLD area and the "TO:" is always just the callsign with no "<A href="mailto:...@KG6BAJ">...@KG6BAJ</A>" added to the end. Thus the rewrite rules can't see it as something intended for local delivery.<BR>
<BR>
I'm not sure why jnos does not seam to check the "users.dat" file and make a determination as to who is REGISTERED at my station and automatically append either an HROUTE or append an "@KG6BAJ" to the "SP xxxxx" part.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Observation #5<BR>
For that matter, now that I think about it... I have REGISTERED users that visit my station, but have a HOME BBS somewhere else. "RK3KPK" is one of them.<BR>
I checked my "USERS.DAT" file and he did include his HROUTE (CX2SA.LAV.URY.SA) when he registered. But if I were to send a private message to him using "SP RK3KPK" that message also gets thrown into the HOLD mail area, instead of being routed out to my forwarding partner. A VERBOSE read of the message when it hits the HOLD area also shows that no HROUTE was added to the "TO:" and thus jnos rewrite rules for forwading don't kick in. <BR>
<BR>
So... Any Ideas as to what's not working correctly here ???<BR>
<BR>
I would be happy to post any configurations here if requested. <BR>

<DIV>Well, gee, the more I look into this, the more confused I get...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>First of all, regarding the line I tried putting into domain.txt:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="courier new,monospace">127.0.0.1 IN A k1bbs<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>The reason it didn't look right was that... it *wasn't* right. I had imitated the format that I found on page 87 of "Networking Without Wires: Radio Based TCP/IP" (<A href="ftp://ftp.tapr.org/projects/n8urbook/n8ur-dr1.pdf" target=_blank>ftp://ftp.tapr.org/projects/n8urbook/n8ur-dr1.pdf</A>), which was wrong. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But even after sorting that out, and fixing my domain.txt file to look like:</DIV>
<DIV>---------</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="courier new,monospace">localhost IN A 127.0.0.1</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="courier new,monospace">k1bbs IN A 127.0.0.1</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>---------</DIV>
<DIV>... still no joy.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Next, although N8UR strongly advocates putting "localhost" into domain.txt, other examples out there (such as the one at <A href="http://mysite.verizon.net/ka1fsb/domain.html" target=_blank>http://mysite.verizon.net/ka1fsb/domain.html</A>) don't include it. (So was N8UR wrong about that, too?)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now, since my machine that hosts JNOS does *not* have an address on the 44 net, and isn't part of the <A href="http://ampr.org/" target=_blank>ampr.org</A> domain (remember, I want to get it functioning as a simple, standalone mail drop accessible only via AX.25 and the local "bbs" command), I didn't see any point in setting the domain prefix or giving k1bbs a FQDN. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But just to see what would happen, I changed the hostname to "<A href="http://k1bbs.ampr.org/" target=_blank>k1bbs.ampr.org</A>" and added "domain suffix <A href="http://ampr.org/" target=_blank>ampr.org</A>." to my autoexec.nos file, and changed my domain.txt file to:</DIV>
<DIV>----------</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="courier new,monospace">localhost IN A 127.0.0.1</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="courier new,monospace"><A href="http://k1bbs.ampr.org/" target=_blank>k1bbs.ampr.org</A>. IN A 127.0.0.1</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>----------</DIV>
<DIV>Again, no joy.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So in a final act of desperation I changed the domain.txt file to:</DIV>
<DIV>----------</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="courier new,monospace">localhost IN A 127.0.0.1</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="courier new,monospace"><A href="http://k1bbs.ampr.org/" target=_blank>k1bbs.ampr.org</A>. IN A 44.128.10.64</FONT></DIV>----------</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And now when I kick SMTP, I get:</DIV>
<DIV>---------</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="courier new,monospace">Trying Connection to 44.128.10.64</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="courier new,monospace">SMTP client Trying...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="courier new,monospace">smtp sent: QUIT</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>---------- </DIV>
<DIV>and no change in the contents of spool/mqueue or spool/mail. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now, obviously, I don't really expect this last configuration to work, since the IP address is bogus -- but at least I'm seeing some different behavior, leading me to (wishfully?) think I'm getting close to the right track.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But I'm just not seeing what I need to do to tell JNOS that k1bbs is localhost. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyone? I'm dyin' here...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>M</DIV>
