Mr> do you actually have that much of a need for such a thing?

Mr> i suggest you rig your bbs to run the door bill suggested, seems like less

Mr> also on the facebook fidonet group a guy posted a url to site that

Mr> i've been running bbses since 1992-93 and only had a few people ever send

Yeah, in fact I think somewhere in the Fidonet documentation they state that
there's never been a reason/desire to have a netmail database of addresses. If
you want to contact someone at a BBS they can give you an netmail address where
they can be reached, and if you want to contact a system operator of a BBS you
can usually address sysop@1:218/600, Synchronet will drop sysop emails to my
box as do most BBSs.

Here's a great webpage, you can enter the name of a Sysop and it'll list every
node under that name. If you know the name of a Sysop you can probably find
their board history here...
