How about moving ECHOCFG to SCFG? That way all configs are in one place instead
of having them separate.

Perhaps. I don't see that as a major improvement or need, but I understand why it could be considered "better" by some people.

I might be remembering wrong, but I think this question had come up before. I thought the reason for having them separate was that some sysops might choose not to add any FTN networks, so it might not make sense to have a lot of that FTN configuration in SCFG. But then again, SCFG already has "FIdoNet EchoMail and NetMail" under Networks.. What about moving that from SCFG into Echocfg? :P

That wasn't a serious request; I'm happy with where things are at in SCFG and echocfg currently.

Anything's possible. But EchoCfg is completely optional - it just modifies sbbsecho.ini. You could do that by hand. You don't strictly *need* EchoCfg.

SCFG on the other hand is not optional, as it modifies binary configuration (.cnf) files which you can't practically do by hand. SCFG also creates/updates database files and just generally does a lot more than echocfg does.

Most BBSes DM have their ECHOCFG in their CFG file. Lots of examples: RA,
Ezycom, Mystic, Renegade, etc.

EchoCfg is a FidoNet (FTN) EchoMail and Mailer configuration program for Synchronet's SBBSecho. Most of your cited example BBS programs don't even include an FTN EchoMail or Mailer.

Then I'd suspect Synchronet wouldn't have needed an EchoCfg either.

Well you still would need ECHOCFG for an external mailer but now that
Synchronet has an internal mailer, no external mailer is needed.

You don't technically "need" echocfg at all, but if you're going to use SBBSecho as your echomail program, then it's a nice thing to have/use. There used to be a lot more options for FTN echomail programs to be used with Synchronet/SMB (in which case, echocfg would not be relevant), but those other options have all pretty much dried up. Still, it's conceivable that someone could use a different EchoMail program than SBBSecho and a different mailer than BinkIt, in which case, they would have no use for echocfg or sbbsecho/sbbsecho.ini.

Fmail aka Fast Echomail Processor went back into production with a different
author now. That would work with Synchronet?

I don't think Fmail supports SMB. I think the last tosser to support SMB that wasn't mine (SBBSFIDO or SBBSecho) was InterMail. I could be wrong. <shrug>

Assuming the sysop wants to use the internal mailer. Not all SBBS

it's always seemed weird that there is an echocfg separate from scfg.
i know it has many more options added to it now, but i think it should all go under one roof.
