+MBSE BBS Setup - Edit Routing Table.
+ +
Introduction.
++First an important note: normal nodes, hubs and hosts should not need this to +setup. MBSE is smart enough to do normal netmail routing using the nodelist. +There are cases when you might need this, for example if you are a RC or if you +have special routing arrangements via internet nodes. Think at least twice +before adding entries here. You can always use the mbfido test command to +check if the standard routing is enough. You should also check to see what you have +done with mbfido test if the entries in this table do what you expect +them to do. +During route tests it is wise to temporary switch on extra debug logging +with mbsetup menu 1.5.16.17 and check the information in the logfile, there is a +lot of information about the descisions that are made. +
+When you edit a route table, the entries you add might not be in the right +order, this will be done after you leave the editor. Sorting is done in order of +zone, exact nodes first, then globals. If you end the routing table with a global +route, ie. to All zones, then the standard routing isn't used anymore and only +the table is consulted. This might not be needed, most likely is that you only +need to add the routes to the non-standard nodes. The table is processed from +the first entry to the last and stops when an entry matches. If there was no +match, the default routing will be used. +
+ +
Edit Routing Table.
++When you open the table you see something like this:
+
+
+The edit screen looks like this:
+
+
+Mask The destination mask to test for. +Action Route to, Direct or Default. +Dest addr The destination node in case of Route to. +Active If this rule is active. +Deleted If this rule must be deleted. +++If the Action is Route to then all mail matching the Mask will be routed +to the node setup in Dest addr. This node must be present in your setup. +If the Mask is Direct then mail to node node(s) matching the Mask will be +sent direct, not routed. If the action is Default then the nodes matching +the Mask will use the standard default routing. More actions will be added +later. +
