Hello everybody!

I have to explain this a bit now because otherwise it will get too confusing.

I have been running a BinkD, Husky & GoldEd combination with the node address 2:31/123. I have now shut it down, and of course unsubscribed from all Echomails for this address beforehand.

I operate my Synchronet BBS with the also registered address 2:31/124 (and also with the address 954:895/13 as AKA). I receive and send Echomails via 2:31/124 without any problems. Can I also add the address 2:31/123 as an AKA (just so that I can still be reached via Netmail using this address)? Is there anything to consider in the configuration for this operation with a second FidoNet AKA. I love the Synchronet Wiki but of all things the menus there are not yet fully documented. That's why I'm a little helpless here :-)

Is there anything to consider for the use of AKAs? Because I would like to connect other networks via Binkit in the future. Are there do's and dont's here?

Michael

Yes.

When you send NetMail, it'll use the first/best AKA match unless you have the SCFG->Networks->FidoNet->Choose NetMail Source Address option set to "Yes", in which case the sender/user is prompted for which source AKA to use.
