Tnks for your (P)ersonal comments on this item ,
yes of course , if you send a bulletin@ww it will be forwarded right now
to the other end of the world , while a P msg could stay for months on pending
mail on some BBS , founding no route to be sent to the good destination ...
As i learned in the 90's , first job of a SYSOP is to work hard and learn how to
find a way to forward P msgs from his BBS to front and following partners.
In early packet days , we (sysops) had to know which hierarchical adress we had
to set for any continent , country , region and sometimes towns.
Nowadays , with the "plug-and-play" generation , with help of internet one can think
there's no need to learn or study how to find the rare route to forward P mails ! ? !
Don't you know ?
False answer !
- The end of packet radio is simply the fault to bbs'owners who don't care anymore
to this problem.
- Why so much (P)ersonal msgs and anwsers are now sent in Bulls@ww ?
- Packet radio is now polluted as internet where answers to a msg sent via a mailing list
is now re-sent to everybody known in this list ( funny when it's a real personal thinking
the owner don't want to send to everyone ... and it does ! ! )
Now with (relative) old bbs systems we use , with the WP (white page) automatic routing
dialogue between systems , most of hierarchical adresses are corrupted.
The only thing i can do via my bbs is to forward P mails to my front bbs
which will be the nearest one of the expected destination.
Well , it's a problem . May we find a solution , or is it the end of Packet-radio ?
But the answer i wanted to do in this msg is for UT1HZM :
As some other sysops said , messages adressed to a sysop ARE TO BE (P)ersonal
simply because if you send any message in (B)ulletin @WW , everybody having a permission
to connect RF or telnet bbs gateways (whole ham community ) will read this message.
If i send a P msg to sysop@ww , ON-LY sysops of all bbs of the world will read my complaint
or the technical message i want them to read.
( note that the adress is SYSOP @ WW , sent to one and only person and not sysop's' , most bbs
have a script or setting file to pick this msg and make a copy to the owner of the bbs . )
That's what i just wanted to do.
That's what every sysop is doing till packet radio is alive in ham world.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the following advice you sent , now if applied , no service message
will be sent direct to the sysop ..., and every user asking for a telnet
access with password to his sysop will be stored in Hold msgs.
-----
>>Also if you operate F6FBB BBS pse add to REJECT.sys follow line
>>to HOLD this error behavior:
>>H P * WW SYSOP * 0
>>Then P message for sysop@ww will be holded and should be replaced
>>by Your hands to B-type!
>>73, Sergej
-----
and this will be an error to replace P as B for this type of (P)rivate message !
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PS : just taking the opportunity to remind you an excellent documentation on packet radio
(some mods in times , but it is still acting) : a great thanks to Larry !
