It strips your AKAs, as well as any other nodes in other zones other than zone
1 out of the PATH statement. See the PATHI have here for this message as
evidence. Bjorn in Zone 2 to me in Zone 1. The system it passed before
lie in regards to their experiment?

Using ZONE_BLIND by itself would includeevery one of your addresses listed

The "ZONE_BLIND 4" option should only include your fidonet addresses, and not

If you had ZONE_BLIND 4 as the first line in your sbbsecho.cfg, you shouldn't
have sent out any other addresses besides your 1:* ones. If you did, then
something wasn't done properly. Did you try recycling Synchronet?

Joe is using this same feature on Win32, and it seems to be working fine for
him. I'mnot sure what the deal is seeing as though I'm running Linux here.

I can't really get the facts out of your message currently,because someone
between you and I are also stripping zones out of the PATH line (Probably
Ross, since HPT doesn't have an option to change that, but hopefully it will
in the future).

Regards,
Nick
