Hello All.
<On 24Apr2024 21:37 IB Joe wrote a message to All regarding Re: Testing Gateway
[snip]
I sent a message through news.eternal-september.org... on
conference alt.bbs.mystic to see if it echoes into the fidonet
mystic... it was echoed in fine...
"Echoed in" via someone's Usenet<>FidoNet gateway. They certainly aren't going to send messages to FidoNet directly. They're not a FidoNet Node...
But because
news.eternal-september.org didn't adhere to fido policies and or
the fido address that acted as a gateway didn't stamp it... Seems
odd!!!
I'm trying to locate someone at news.eternal-september.org to see
why they are not adhering to Fido policies... It's a free service
so I'm not expecting a response.
news.eternal-september.org is not part of FidoNet. They are a Usenet news service provider and are not in any way bound by FidoNet technical standards.
What kludge were you looking for in the message(s)? A lot depends on the gating software and the message tossing software on the FidoNet side of things - - not on the Usenet side of things.
Best regards,
