Maiko (et al)
I was reading through your White Pages information and found where when
jnos receives
an incoming bulletin addressed to "WP@WW" (and white pages was compiled at
time of build)
that jnos will capture the white pages haddress information contained in
the bulletin.
However, I note that several users are not sending these bulletins
addressed to "WP@WW"
but rather addressed to :
WP@USA
WP@USBBS
WP@WP
WP
WP@EU
.. and so on.
Also noting that any FBB and TNOS systems send white pages as a private
message to
"callsign@haddress" (example "sp kg6baj(a)kg6baj.#nca.ca.usa.noam")
(Also noting that the FBB/TNOS method is what really should be used)
So, I was able to see that when those white pages were broadcasted in
anything other
than "WP@WW", they came in as regular bulletins, and jnos did *NOT* capture
any
of the data.
So, as an *attempted* fix, I created the following "rewrite rules"
-------------------------
wp@usa wp@ww r
wp@usbbs wp@ww r
wp@wp wp@ww r
wp wp@ww r
wp@kg6baj* wp@ww r
wp@* wp@ww r
-------------------------
However, these rules immediately caused jnos to crash every time a bulletin was
received and attempted to be processed by jnos and my rewrite rules.
So, I had to comment out those rules to stabilize jnos again.
With this, that leaves all these white-pages broadcast bulletins going
around that
jnos is really doing nothing with.
It would also *appear* that if I have white-pages partners
(using command "wpages destination callsign1 callsign2 etc") that if my
forward
partner is running FBB or TNOS, they will not be able to process my message
to them
because their system is looking for the format "sp callsign@haddress" but jnos
is sending them a "sb wp@ww"
So, I thought I should drop this information to you (and others) so that
others
won't try rewrite rules and start crashing as I did.
Any response for resolution is appreciated in advance.
