Forwarding Mail to PE1RRR BBS

The TO box

PE1RRR

The TO field is the fallback for when hierarchical routing doesn’t work, such as when the BBS user sends a mail for callsign PE1RRR without the full route address.

The AT box

PE1RRR
ARRL
ARL
AMSAT
NLDNET

The AT field is the fallback for when hierarchical routing doesn’t work, such as when the BBS user sends a mail AT / @PE1RRR without the full route address.

The TIMES box

Leave blank

The TIMES field lets the polling intervals enabled in the configuration only function during these defined time bands. This is not needed here as we are online 24/7 via AXIP.

For those looking to configure time-sensitive connections perhaps with another BBS over RF, then you may be interested to know that TIME bands can also be integrated into the connection script itself. See Documentation.

Connection Script

C PE1RRR-7
BBS

The node PE1RRR-7 MUST be in your node table for this to work.

• If you have just linked to the node, wait at least 30 minutes for the BBS callsign to appear in your node table, if it does not, see My Node Table Is Full.
• Here is additional documentation that expands on how connect scripts work.

Hierarchical Routes (Flood Bulls):

NLD.EURO
WW

HR (Personals and Directed Bulls)

Hierarchical Routes for Personal Mail and Directed Bulletins.

Important: Be super careful not to add any blank white-spaces (invisible gaps) after these lines, make sure to backspace at the end of each line if you have copied and pasted, to be certain. If your bulletins aren’t forwarding, this is one of the things to look for.

PE1RRR.#NBW.NLD.EURO

Additional routes: For informational purposes only

Please do not copy and paste this list into your configuration!

Below are the hierarchical address routes that PE1RRR can route to, you may if you absolutely *need to* use some of them to route to some of these destinations via my system under the HR (Personals and Directed Bulls).

In the situation where my link is your only “in” to the packet network (it happens), you will need to route all mail via PE1RRR by putting “WW” in the HR Personal and Directed Bulletin list. This is only to be done if you have no other links at all, otherwise this breaks things.

Please get in touch first to arrange a few tests with me so that we can both ensure that any additional routes you want to use do not go haywire and break routing for mail that is not meant to leave your own area. This is particularly important when you have other systems linked to your BBS that you forward mail with.

It is unusual for systems inside the USA to route an entire state’s messages (e.g TX.USA.NOAM) outside to a foreign system for distribution. In this particulcar case, I have made sure that a Texan BBS I have a link to can route the entire state of Texas’s messages for me- so I can use the widest scope TX.USA.NOAM for Texas in my configuration to route any errant/misrouted/destined messages to where they need to go. What the Texas sysop does with those messages is upon them after they have left my system.

Note: This list is not a list of routes where I want messages to come from, its meant for return only- destinations where I will send mail onwards to-

Again, please do NOT copy and paste this into your own configuration- it will break things.

Note: Some of these scopes overlap. Until otherwise alerted by my upstream partners, the widest scopes have been opened up e.g: ITA.EURO for Italy and FRA.EURO for France even though there are smaller scopes sitting above them.

e.g IMAR.ITA.EURO and FRHA.FRA.EURO.

This is to ensure that in the situation when a partner that can normally handle the entire route for the widest scope goes offline, the smaller scopes can still function. I don’t know if this is the best way or what, but logically, it seems to work.

Forwarding Options:

Finally, Click Update to save.

If interested in unattended HF forwarding, its possible to use finer granularity to achieve a polling setup that does not collide with everyone else doing their basic on-the-hour every hour polling

The following PDF document is an example HF first, AXIP backup system designed by PE1RRR.
