I was thinking that he wanted a way to respond to various netmails using either his ~/10 primary address -or- his ~/0 NC address, from the _same_ netmail group. *smack* me. 8-)
In jamnntpd.groups, when defining my netmail area, is there a way I
can accept netmail to multiple addresses in the same area?
I'd suggest that you use your mailer to handle that. At least that's how I do it to get all netmail to all my AKAs rerouted to this 2:203/2 JamNNTPd system.

Try it & see. I've been running an alias for the WIN95 echomail area
for a couple of years, though both carry the same primary address. So,
if you have an alias (entry) for your netmail area using an AKA... it
orta work fine. Give it a shot. Don't hold back now. And do report
back on your adventures. ;-)
That's kinda why I asked the question. Can you list multiple AKAs in the jamnntpd.groups format? It doesn't say so in the description heading.
So it would either be something like:
!NETMAIL B 1:154/10 1:154/0 /usr/local/fido/msgbase/netmail
!NETMAIL B 1:154/10 /usr/local/fido/msgbase/netmail
!NETMAIL B 1:154/0 /usr/local/fido/msgbase/netmail
.. in two lines. BUT, I would think that if this was not originally thought through in the code, that the second entry would just end up negating the first one, or vice versa.
!NETMAIL B 1:154/10 /usr/local/fido/msgbase/netmail
!NETMAIL B 1:154/0 /usr/local/fido/msgbase/netmail
.. in two lines. BUT, I would think that if this was not originally
thought through in the code, that the second entry would just end up
negating the first one, or vice versa.
Yeah, two lines is what I had in mind. Kind of like Golded's capacity
to toggle through a collection of AKAs, based on definitions in the
config file. You still need to have a friendly tosser at yer back, configured to handle the AKAs used by JamNNTPd. You knew that, that's
why I won't mention it.
Try it & see. :)

I'm not exactly sure how binkd would handle netmail, but I believe
Paul was following what I was looking for.
At this point in time with my netmail area configured for my /10
address, I don't even see netmail destined to my /0 address (I'm
guessing that's due to the "strictnetmail" option I have enabled - but that is because I don't want to read in-transit netmail). I would like
to both read and write from both addresses (and possibly more
addresses if this is actually doable), if possible, all within one
single netmail area.

For example, I receive netmail for both 1:154/10, and 1:154/0. Is there
a way I can define one netmail area to accept multiple AKAs, or do I
have to define separate netmail areas for each AKA?

But I can read only netmail to or from my name. And I do have 'strictnetmail' on.
If you want to *send* from multiple addresses, I think you need to
create multiple netmail boards. :(
binkd doesn't handle netmail other than passing the PKTs it is packed in along to the system the /tosser/ packed it for... björn should know this... it is up to the tosser to route netmail on a BSO system...
depending on the system software and configuration, it can be done butdone?
it requires specific capabilities... doesn't jamnntpd have a specific
way of addressing netmail? something using the first line(s) of the message body to indicate to jamnntpd that something different must be
However, I'm not concerned about sending with another address. I just
want to be able to read/access it, and jamnntpd doesn't seem to be allowing for that.

I know this. But apparantly Björn's mailer can handle netmail, so
we'll leave it at that.

Jamnntpd uses the first line to fill in the TO field only, as far as I know. There is nothing you can do to enter what AKA you're actually sending from.
However, I'm not concerned about sending with another address. I just
want to be able to read/access it, and jamnntpd doesn't seem to be allowing for that.
I have it setup this way in Golded+ and it works fine there. I was
just wondering/hoping there was a way to do the same with jamnntpd, is all.

If you set your hpt to store all netmail to all of your aka's to a
single jam netmail base, you should be able to do that.
At least I can. :)

that's weird...

ahhh... ok...
I guess that's one thing the Golded+ devs did nicely. AKA matching all
in one netmail area is probably under-realized by many, but is a very
nice feature.

Yes indeed. But sometimes it is also very annoying feature. If you manually try to send netmail with certain address, Golded insists to change it. ;)
If i remember correctly, real names are required in netmail only.
Most echo moderators state in their echo rules that real names are HG>>used.
That is a moderators requirement for an echo, not for fidonet.
Echomail isn't covered in Fido's P4.
Of course it is. It's mentioned more than 30 times. Your statement
is a relic from an old Z1 administration that now has been replaced.
OTOH real names are not mentioned at all, not even "in netmail only".
This is not a flame, or intended to be.
I have a legitimate question concerning netmail and JamNNTPd.
Setting up JB's program is pretty much straightforward.
However, when trying to use a fake name with netmail, it
does not seem to work as it should. Does that mean that
those who chose to use JB's program must use their real
name to send/receive netmail?

Just another evil thought... If you leave the 5th field out, you can
set up the from name in the news client.
In this case receiving netmail is not possible but sending... ;)
