|
<h3>Introduction</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <strong>mbfido</strong> program that is responsible for unpacking,
|
|
importing, exporting and routing of netmail has a build in default routing
|
|
plan. In general this is quite simple, if we know the destination node or
|
|
his uplink, (that node or uplink is in our setup), then we will route via
|
|
that node in our setup. If the node or his uplink is not in our setup, then
|
|
the nodelist is used and normal fidonet routing is used. This means, if you
|
|
are a node, everything goes to your hub, if you are a hub, then mail for
|
|
your downlinks will go direct to the downlinks because they are in your setup,
|
|
everything else goes to the host.
|
|
If you are a host, then your own downlinks will get the mail direct,
|
|
the downlinks of the hubs in your net well be routed via the hubs below you.
|
|
If it is for a node in your region but outside your net, mail will be routed via
|
|
the other hosts in your region. Mail to outside your region will go to the
|
|
region coordinators system.
|
|
<P> <P>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Tracking and bouncing</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
At this moment there is no bouncing of undeliverable mail. I will built this
|
|
in, but it will only work inside your own net. I will never include code for
|
|
bouncing mail outside your net, because nodelists are always not uptodate.
|
|
<p> <P>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Special routing</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
What if you need special routing. The solution is simple, add the routing
|
|
nodes to your setup and fill in the "route via" field. If you don't have a
|
|
session password with that node, leave the password fields blank. This node
|
|
will never know that he is in your setup as long as you have the notify
|
|
settings for that node switched off. To figure
|
|
out such solutions yourself, I have included the flow diagrams for the tracking
|
|
module.
