Why does SP KC7MRY@KC7MRY.#WPA.PA.US.NAOM match RMS?

I put PA.US.NAOM in the HR (Personals and Directed Bulls) field for K3CLM, but BPQ32 still chooses the match RMS. ! If I 'fix' the hierarchical address, the message is routed correctly. Why does SP KC7MRY@KC7MRY.#WPA.PA.US.NAOM match RMS? 73, Chuck |
开云体育Two things to note. At first glance it looks like it goes to RMS because you have a typo in the HA. The “US.NAOM” should be “USA.NOAM” at the end. Unless you have a direct path to the destination system, it won’t match any of the intermediate stations’ forwarding rules. That makes the KC7MRY@KC7MRY.#WPA.PA.US.NAOM be treated as an internet address and thus is sent to RMS. ? On a second read, it looks like there’s another issue. The message is address to … .#WPA.PA.US.NAOM but you state that you put PA.US.NAOM in the HA forwarding. That’s not a match, again leaving the addressed to resolve to an internet address and be sent to RMS. ? 73 Jim KY2D. ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Chuck Gelm

Hi, Mark: Thanks. I (do not / did not) understand that BPQ-BBS treats a 'no match' as forward via internet. :-| Baffling. I am inserting a small image of my RMS Forward configuration. 73, Chuck |

This is not a typo, I did it that way, but yes, it is a mal-formed HA. ;-) I am learning something new about BPQ-BBS HA routing. I have PA.US.NAOM in the HR field of a forwarding neighbor in #WPA.PA.USA.NOAM, So, I was trying to, at least, forward directly into #WPA. I was expecting to see a HA routing match ~ "depth of 3"<--NAOM.US.PA. Like: 240618 20:11:01 ?NC8Q????? Msg 23751 Routing Trace To W3PHB Via W3PHB@W3PHB.#WPA.PA.USA.NOAM 240618 20:11:01 ?NC8Q?????

Connecting to BBS K3CLM But, nooooo, with a non-standard/mal-formed HA, there is no mention of a 'Match', so it went to RMS. :-( Grrrrr. I still think '*.PA.US.NAOM' is a 'Match' to my K3CLM Forward. :-| I assume that a BBS in #WPA.PA.USA.NOAM would not have a forward to HA: #WPA.PA.USA.NOAM, thus the message would forward by @CALLSIGN. Although, now I fear that K3CLM would next send the message to RMS. Alas! I think the default should not be 'send everything not understood to RMS'. 73, Chuck |

I think the default should not be 'send everything not understood to RMS'. I believe there are two ways for a message to be sent via internet mail from a BBS.
?
1.? If you have an ISP configuration in your main BBS configuration then the message will be sent to your ISP for delivery.
2.? To your RMS for delivery.

I believe the default is to send it to your ISP if configured, then to your RMS connection if it exists, then held due to "Nowhere to Forward."

Hopefully John will chime in with his comments soon.

开云体育BPQMail checks if a message is to a packet or Internet address when the message is input. Basically a message is deemed to be an internet address if the @ field contains a . and the last element of the address is not a valid packet continent or country code. NAOM is not a valid continent, so the message is routed to RMS.There have been some messages asking why NAOM doesn't match NAOM in the hierarchical routing config. The reason is that the packet/internet determination is made before the message is passed to the routing code. 73, John On 18/07/2024 11:37, Chuck Gelm wrote:

I will add #WPA.PA to the HR field of my forwarding neighbor, then try: SP KC7MRY@KC7MRY.#WPA.PA.US.NAOM.NOAM 73, Chuck |

PA.US.NAOM.NOAM Chuck,
?
NAOM is not going to be valid in an HR at all.? Even if YOU have a route in a forwarding record that BPQ try and process and even send to your forwarding partner because his record has that error, the next BBS along the route will not.? Most likely somewhere along the line some BBS will return the "Nowhere to route message" and you end up with an undesired route?? It might even result in matching one element, NOAM, and the message is distributed to hundreds of BBS's across NOAM instead of to PA.? Use a proper route, and teach your users proper routing.

What is the attraction to using NAOM anywhere in the route, anyway?

Pshew, at least I didn't mess up hundreds of BBSs. A WP Update arrived with the mis-configured HA about 11 days ago. I was trying to assist the new sysop. Alas, that new callsign does not have an email-of-record at qrz.com, so I was trying to send a packet message to the new sysop. I am suspending this endeavor. :-| 73, Chuck |
