Um, 23:1/1 isn't a fidonet node. It's sysopnet and there probably isn't a binkd nodelist yet, though there could be one made. You'll need to configure the node in your binkd.cfg.

My theory is that if others are having a problem with the nodelist, it must be improperly
formatted. It is the only nodelist that I can't compile on my end. I wish I could find the
problem, but I am still able to send and receive packets.

I just hatched a copy of the nodelist in binkd format. I think it went out, any way. There is no binkd nodelist, so he couldn't use it as far as I can tell. Just a fidonet style nodelist and it was missing ;'s. Fixed now.

There is a .pl file that can be compiled to run an executable that will turn
a fidonet style list into a binkd style list. If you look at what I hatched, you'll see that it's really simple. IF I was able to hatch it.

No, binkd nodelists are distinctively different from an ftn node list.

It's just a list of the nodes in a format that binkd can handle natively. ndl2bnkd is the gitub repo I think for converting from ftn to binkd

It could be something on my end and not a real problem with the list. I'm running the
newest version of Winserver and I may have missed something in the setup. I defined
Net 23 but it's not entering the nodelist for 23. I will let you know if I get it fixed.

Um, 23:1/1 isn't a fidonet node. It's sysopnet and there probably isn't a binkd nodelist yet, though there could be one made. You'll need to configure the node in your binkd.cfg.

I don’t have a binkd.cfg but do have a sbbsecho.ini file that has all the FTN's configured. SysopNet is configured the same as the other FTN's I have connected (such as FsxNet) but only SysopNet produces this error when posting a message to the forum. Right after I save this message, my BBS will attempt to connect to SysopNet and exchange the packet. I then get this error and the message doesn’t not send:

"BINKOUT Connection to f1.n1.z23.binkp.net:24554 failed (Error: No such host is known.)"

Looks like it's trying to resolve it as a Fidonet DNS address, not "bbs.pwecksretreat.com" as configured.

THEN, during the next timed BINKP poll for all my FTN's, the message then get's delivered to SysopNet and it pulls down any new messages that might be waiting.

I must be missing something somewhere. The message(s) do go out, but not initially.

I am happy to report my issues has been resolved. Khronos was very helpful tonight and we discoverd an incorrect setting in the FTN Domain entry for SysopNet on my system. The "Zones" setting was set to 10, not 23.
