Hi Ron.
Yes, that is true as WW can include all bulletins.

Hi Bob,
I had "bc.can.noam" and WW along with a couple more. What I didn't

Based on Mark's recommendations I think I'm getting closer to a
correct config. Waiting for the next @USA bull to see what
happens.

Since you are in CAN and the bull is @USA it is a

appropriate.

I appreciate all your help! I'll adjust all my US partners as
suggested. Here's my list of aliases. Any suggestions are welcome.
AMSAT:NOAM
ARL:NOAM
ARRL:NOAM
EURO:EU
ALL:WW
NA:NOAM
ALLUS:USA
USBBS:USA

USBBS is not a hierarchical route and would work better in
the global alias' and shown as USBBS:USA
When BPQ then see @USBBS it will forward it as @USA
?
Remember that your goal is to get it to one station in @USA
and let that station forward as a flood bull to all of his USA
partners.

Re: Winlink Express using Bpq32 node via RF to access mail from CMS
Ok Mark,
I appreciate your efforts and direction on this!
?
I will make the modifications and see how it goes.
?
I'll have to think about having my incoming Winlink messages in another location other then Winlink Express. So as I see it in order for my Winlink Express to send and receive via RF through the node in I'll have to establish a gateway and register it with Winlink?
?
Thanks?

You can run at any time. Can you try with the other address on each line of the dump?
Thanks? John?

Re: Winlink in-line picture attachments dropped by BPQ BBS
This may be relevant, but per the documentation:
?
WARNING - Messages with attachments can be forwarded to/from Paclink, Airmail or another BPQ BBS using B2 protocol, and using the email interface , but the attachments are likely to be lost if it is forwarded to any other BBS system.?
