Hi Rob,

On 2025-02-20 16:15:00, you wrote to me:

At all? Isn't synchronet/binkit able to use a nodelist?

RS> That produces 31 lines without complete addresses, e.g.

It's all you need to know.

You are using an old nodelist! Region,92 was removed from the nodelist on: 27 Nov 2024

RS> Are there actually 31 RCs?

Actually there are 30.

RS> Is each supposedly reachable via netmail at <zone>:<region>/1?

No, it is: <zone>:<region>/0

That should work unless their system is misconfigured. In which case it's questionable if they should be a RC. ;-)


Bye, Wilfred.
