    Hello Keith,

    Is there another Fido --> Internet email --> Fido gateway out there

    wpusa is now sestar.synchro.net, although I'm not sure about any gateways.

    Ttyl :-),

    yeah, this is true that i changed the system name and domain... and no, i don't
    know of any way for me to gateway like i used to do unless sbbs has a method i'm not aware of... i could probably set up gigo again and do it that way since
    gigo did FTN pkts

    While SBBS can do email and can gate Usenet, AFAIK, it can't actually gate email to FTN nodes behind the Synchronet system. Email addresses generated from echomail posts gated to NNTP have a fake @fidonet domain - the addresses are syntactically valid, but not reachable. The only exception to that is anything posted on the gateway BBS itself will have the BBS's Internet domain appended.
