DM,

I brought this up a while ago, and I'm seeing behavior I don't understand.

I have a rule in echocfg that says to route mail for 2:ALL with CRASH flavor.

[node:2:ALL@fidonet]
Name =
Comment = Fidonet Zone 2
Archive = ZIP
PacketType = 2+
PacketPwd =
AreaFix = false
AreaFixPwd =
SessionPwd =
TicFilePwd =
Inbox =
Outbox =
Passive = false
Direct = false
Notify = false
Keys =
Status = Crash
GroupHub =
BinkpHost =
BinkpPort = 24554
BinkpPoll = false
BinkpPlainAuthOnly = false
BinkpAllowPlainAuth = true
BinkpAllowPlainText = true
BinkpTLS = false
BinkpSourceAddress =


But, when I look at my log, I see entries where, instead of host-routing mail destined for points, it's doing a nodelist lookup and failing.

6/13 10:46:07a BINKOUT Connection to p323.f8005.n240.z2.binkp.net:24554 failed (Error: No such host is known. ).

Is there a way that I'm missing to get sbbsecho to host-route all point mail to their boss nodes?

You have no "Route" set, so this linked-node isn't going to achieve what you're stating.

But, when I look at my log, I see entries where, instead of host-routing mail destined for points, it's doing a nodelist lookup and failing.

If you want to observe SBBSecho routing, watch the sbbsecho.log.

No special configuration is needed for "route ... to boss nodes".

I suppose that's where I'm missing something.

What I'm trying to do is set a default route for zone 2 that will attempt to crash mail directly to any node for whom I don't have a specific linked node entry.

You don't need a "route" to do that. What you're describing is a non-route. Just send the NetMail crash (or set SCFG->Networks->FidoNet->NetMail Defaults to Crash to "Yes").
