I'm trying to help out a sysop who is using BinktermPHP as a point system off their Synchronet 3.21d system. I've also upgraded to Synchronet 3.21d and can not reproduce the issue from https://mypoint.lovelybits.org - a point system hanging off my Synchronet node.

As far as I know echomail relays okay.

But when he sends me netmail the to address is being changed to 1:1/0

2026-03-12 00:00:45 Packing NetMail (1.msg) from Errol Casey (1:153/150.1337) to awehttam (1:1/0), attr: 0001 (PRIVATE), subject: test netmail to 1:153/150 - awehttam

As far as I can tell the packet being generated from BinktermPHP is okay - and when I send to myself from mypoint the message goes through to 1:153/150 as expected.

Are there any configuration settings or maybe other gotchas that could cause this to happen? I'm largely out of ideas on this one.

Thanks

Matthew

I would ask the sysop in question: How did they create the netmail messages? Can they provide a log or capture of that? Can they check your sbbsecho.log file for relevant log entries?

We have more testing to do. The log I included in my post is apparently from his hub.

I didn't see any references to 1:1/0 in the sbbsecho.log output or the packet dumps you provided.

I can't quote your message because you used a "tear line" formatted quote separator.

Why would the packet be to the same node it's frome? Somewhere's up there.
