I don't know about other BBS systems. 73, John On 06/07/2024 21:07, Chris Lance WW2BSA wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text I've read some of the old posts on here, but wanted to confirm the proper format if I wanted to send a bulletin only to Europe.

Chris Lance WW2BSA Member Profile All Messages By This Member #41755 Thank you for the reply, John. And since I haven't said it in a while, "Thank you!" for a great piece of software! It has brought back a lot of memories from my dial-up BBS days as well as early packet adventures. I am in awe of your knowledge! I Just found a MicroHAMS Digital Conference Video on you from 2020 and am looking forward to watching it! ? Tnx again for the enjoyment you bring to the hobby... ? 73 de Chris ww2bsa toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 07/07/2024 2:05 AM EDT John G8BPQ <john.wiseman@...> wrote: ? ? With BPQ either.

Charles Hargrove All Messages By This Member #41756 Bulletin flood area vs hierarchical address continent code. The flood area can be any 6-character word, but the trick is in having the forwarding partners pay attention to it. Just because it says @eu does not guarantee that it just goes to the intended target area and nowhere else. It is a slow education process of the sysops to route things to their forwarding partners correctly. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 7/7/2024 2:05 AM, John G8BPQ wrote: With BPQ either.

John G8BPQ All Messages By This Member #41758 You can't use just a country or continent code and expect it route on the AT list, as they are expanded to a full HA (eg EURO > EURO.WW, GBR > GBR.EU.WW) so will only route on HA fields. So if want to define your own flood areas (eg ALL@LOCAL) you need to make sure the area isn't a valid country or continent. But of course where the messages actually get sent depends on how sysops have set up their forwarding. 73, John toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 07/07/2024 12:18, Charles Hargrove wrote: Bulletin flood area vs hierarchical address continent code.
