The magic is in the rewrite file!<br>
<br>
*@k1bbs $1<br>
*@k1bbs.* $1<br>
<br>
*@*.ampr.org $1@$2.ampr.org<br>
<br>
For internet mail entries like these are handy. (for top level
domains)<br>
<br>
*@*.net $1@$2.net<br>
*@*.com $1@$2.com<br>
*@*.ca $1@$2.ca<br>
*@*.us $1@$2.us<br>
*@*.edu $1@$2.edu<br>
*@*.mil $1@$2.mil<br>
<br>
can be expanded with other top level domains.<br>
<br>
And of course if you don't have an amprnet address put at least<br>
yourself in the domain text.<br>

<div>Well, gee, the more I look into this, the more confused I

<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
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="ftp://ftp.tapr.org/projects/n8urbook/n8ur-dr1.pdf">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
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://mysite.verizon.net/ka1fsb/domain.html">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
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://ampr.org">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 moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://k1bbs.ampr.org">k1bbs.ampr.org</a>"
and added "domain suffix <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://ampr.org">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 moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://k1bbs.ampr.org">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
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://k1bbs.ampr.org">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>
