Hi,
I'm not sure when this started, but I am unable to send NetMail through my Synchronet system.
When I send a NetMail to areafix@1:xxx/xxx the system says this is an invalid Netmail address.
Where do I look to fix this?

Hi,
I'm not sure when this started, but I am unable to send NetMail through my Synchronet system.

It most likely started with this commit: https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/4aa2274c97e8e79e46d3d757fce898a

When I send a NetMail to areafix@1:xxx/xxx the system says this is an invalid Netmail address.
Where do I look to fix this?

SCFG->Networks->FidoNet->Allow Sending of NetMail set to "Yes"?

Is "1:xxx/xxx" one of *your* FTN addresses?

After setting the allow netmail option to yes again this fixed the
issue.
Yes the address I was trying to send a request towards was the hub for
the FidoNet networkthat I am a member of.

Okay, good. That was change in behavior, which I noted in the commit message. --
