Hello Kai!

15 May 21 10:07, you wrote to me:

 FB>> It's obviuos, it would bounce them back to the originating node.

 KR> Yes. I had that twice this year.

Wow, really annoying...

 FB>> Are you seious? :D

 KR> Yes.

Sigh. :(

 FB>> [...]

 FB>> Daily lists don't have diffs. ;)

 KR> The question is what is your conclusion?

 KR> Mine is a misuse of a software that is not designed for the job.

My conclusion is that is a misuse for you, but it's simple, you can still run weekly nodelists and leave everyone else to do exactly what they wants.

 FB>> I don't want to change your mind, probably the weekly nodelist

 KR> Why can't that wait for weekly revision?

I wrote it in my previous message, I'ts useful when I onboard new nodes to the net, so, every node in my Region can send routed netmails through my node to the new node.

I'll kind ask the new sysop to no contact your node/points until the weekly new nodelist will be released, so no any bounces to you. :D

Is It too hard to look at your nodelist and check if the node is in?
And you're supposing that everyone would answer with a netmail to an echomail message.

 KR> To avoid that all fidonet systems have to switch to daily nodelists.
 KR> Then the whole network effort is increased by the 26600%.

For me, it's a conspiracy of the strong powers ...

Ciao!
Fabio
