    Hello Kai!

    15 May 21 10:07, you wrote to me:

    It's obviuos, it would bounce them back to the originating node.

    Yes. I had that twice this year.

    Wow, really annoying...

    [...]
    Are you seious? :D

    Yes.

    Sigh. :(

    [...]

    Daily lists don't have diffs. ;)

    The question is what is your conclusion?

    Mine is a misuse of a software that is not designed for the job.

    My conclusion is that is a misuse for you, but it's simple, you can still run weekly nodelists and leave everyone else to do exactly what they wants.

    I don't want to change your mind, probably the weekly nodelist
    suits your needs, my need, instead, is to have a daily updated
    nodelist.

    Why can't that wait for weekly revision?

    I wrote it in my previous message, I'ts useful when I onboard new nodes to the net, so, every node in my Region can send routed netmails through my node to the new node.

    I'll kind ask the new sysop to no contact your node/points until the weekly new nodelist will be released, so no any bounces to you. :D

    [...]
    If the new node of the daily nodelist would write in public any
    netmail answers could bounce on the next tracker that does not use the daily list. When that happend to me my question was "whats wrong with
    the routing, my mail bounced?"

    Is It too hard to look at your nodelist and check if the node is in?
    And you're supposing that everyone would answer with a netmail to an echomail message.

    To avoid that all fidonet systems have to switch to daily nodelists.
    Then the whole network effort is increased by the 26600%.

    For me, it's a conspiracy of the strong powers ...

    Ciao!

    A change from weekly to daily nodelists would have severe
    consequences. The official sequence for offline systems is one
    revision cycle on hold, on the next cycle down and on the third
    cycle removed. This would offer a timefram of two weeks for a
    broken node system to order spare parts, repair the syst and
    recover online status. A daily revision would reduce that time to
    two d

    Good stuff, I'm tempted to ask him where he found it... :D

    I do. And i do talk about that topic because of...

    ...your definitin is annoying behavior too.

    The same will happen with the weekly nodelist. I do know "why" we have a nodelist, the questions is "daily". Your reason can be solved with a private nodelist on your system. It would publish the new node to the tracker and the mail isn't bounced. Annoying behavior solved without "official" nodelist.

    I'll kind ask the new sysop to no contact your node/points until the weekly new nodelist will be released, so no any bounces to you. :D

    Good advice! Look at that situation. The node is there but you ask him not to publish an echomail to other nodes. Then why do we need daily nodelists?

    A new node can crash to any known nodes in the nodelist. I'm not sure how strict the trackers are, if they don't check the destination only then a new node could route his contact information to nodes he needs to talk with before he is in the weekly nodelist.

    If the new node of the daily nodelist would write in public any
    netmail answers could bounce on the next tracker that does not
    use the daily list. When that happend to me my question was
    "whats wrong with the routing, my mail bounced?"

    Is It too hard to look at your nodelist and check if the node is in?

    I did and he was not in. That's the reason why the tracker bounced the netmail.

    And you're supposing that everyone would answer with a netmail to an echomail message.

    No, not everyone. If one does then he could get an annoying bounce.
    If nobody does then again: Why do we need daily lists?

    To avoid that all fidonet systems have to switch to daily
    nodelists. Then the whole network effort is increased by the
    26600%.

    For me, it's a conspiracy of the strong powers ...

    For me it's a review what's going on. The use of daily lists is an unreliable seven days limited advantage for new nodes only. Nodes pull and process informations that they already have except one missing line each day.
