• GoldED and Synchronet Question

    From Sabre@VERT/LIVEWIRE to All on Tuesday, November 04, 2025 12:34:47
    Hello everybody!

    For those of you running SBBS and using Golded, what is your setup to read Synchronet E-mail and Fidonet netmail? I have 2 seperate setting, one for E-mail (smb) and the other for netmail (Opus).

    AREADEF Syncmail "Synchronet E-Mail" N Net SMB z:\sbbs\data\mail . (Net Pvt) "Live Wire BBS"

    AREADEF NETMAIL "FTN Netmail" N Net OPUS z:\sbbs\fido\netmail . (Net Pvt) "Live Wire BBS"


    Thanks,
    Sabre

    This one by itself should read both email and Fidonet netmail, since it is all stored in the mail base.

    * However, don't try to write anything there, as you risk corrupting your mail base.

    AREADEF NETMAIL "FTN Netmail" N Net OPUS z:\sbbs\fido\netmail . (Net Pvt) "Live Wire BBS"

    I'm guessing this one does nothing for you. Synchronet's "netmail" is stored in the same base as email (/sbbs/data/mail.*). This is why you shouldn't write to it, because Golded doesn't know the difference between what is BBS email, POP/SMTP email, or netmail.
