Well that explains why. Synchronet doesn't know that zone 1 and zone 2 are part of the same "network".

Is there a way to let Synchronet know that zones 1 through 4 are all in Fidonet?

Certainly. From my /sbbs/ctrl/sbbsecho.ini :

[domain:fidonet]
Zones = 1,2,3,4
DNSSuffix = binkp.net
NodeList = /sbbs/fido/nodelist/NODELIST.217

(that last line may vary according to your preferences)

You should have a "domain" declaration section for each network that
your system is connected to.

Thanks. I found this shortly after I sent my post.

Synchronet (e.g. sbbs) doesn't read/use the sbbsecho.ini file, so it doesn't know anything about FTN domains.

Wouldn't it make more sense if it did?

Synchronet doesn't support 5D FTN addresses, nor do I see a need for it to, so no: I don't think it'd make more sense if sbbs used the sbbsecho.ini file for this purpsoe.

OK. So I must be missing something. Is it possible for a Fidonet zone
1 node to exchange netmail with a Fidonet zone 2 node via a Synchronet BBS?
