Yes, this e-mail is for receiving bundles. At March 2026, Alexey 2:5020/8912 and I tested the work of fidonode-fidopoint by e-mail. now this is relevant in the case of a total "white list".

Fmail can send mail bundles via email.
It would be nice if it could search the nodelist for IMI flags. ;-)

Could. Past tense. FMAIL can only send via SMTP and no e-mail server accepts that any more. You need at least starttls or something like
that.

You're so wrong.

In my experience, that is not true.
And as Tommi demonstrated, you can always setup your own mail server
and use that as a relay.

So can we all use your SMTP server for relaying fmail's mail packets?

To the addresses that I accept to relay. Like *fidonet.fi.
However, your HELO was rejected.
"Helo command rejected: Host not found; from=<noreply@vlist.eu> to=<fidomail@fidonet.fi> proto=SMTP helo=<Fido>"
However, your HELO was rejected.
"Helo command rejected: Host not found; from=<noreply@vlist.eu> to=<fidomail@fidonet.fi> proto=SMTP helo=<Fido>"
So please enlighten me, why exactly was the HELO rejected? Is is because noreply@vlist.eu is not a valid e-mail address? I tried again with a
valid address, but I get the same error. ??

You need to send FQDN when talking to my Postfix. Now your FMail sends just "Fido" which doesn't resolve. I don't think you can change that behaviour in FMail
so it's better to use your own local mail server. Or just forget the
whole thing. :)

There are just two things I can configure for this function:
1) My e-mail adress
2) SMTP server to use.
I should add that this has worked inm the past when my provider's SMTP server still accepted raw SMTP on port 25.
Do you consider it a bug in Fmail that your SMTP server rejects me, or
is it something in you SMTP server?
Like requiring an additional authorisation?

Do you think a hardcoded 'fidonet.org' in FMail would work for
everyone?

For sure better than "Fido". The real reverse of the sender would be better.

That would require an other setting, and too much work for a mostly unused
funtion...

I was looking at the code, and it turns out on both linux and windows it
uses the gethostname() function (which is posix) to get the string to
put behind the HELO command.
On linux this returns the same string as the 'uname -n' command. On
windows it's the output of the 'hostname' command. And probably just the computer name, something Michiel could set himself if he likes to
experiment with this. ;-)

So it *IS* working pretty much as it should. ;-)

I think I will just forget it like I actually did many years ago
when providers stopt accepting raw SMTP. Installing my own local
mail server just for this purpose is too much. I never was
enthousiastic about Fido over e-mail anyway. So I will indeed just
forget it. For me this function of Fmail is unusable.

Does Fmail support SSL/TLS?
I use a script to read ?lo-files (with hex number of my link) and then send packets using mutt+msmtp (with SSL).
