The issue is with Zone Blind toggle. If I don't want one network's addresses to appear in the seen-by and path lines of another, should that toggle be "enabled" or "disabled"? If enabled, that brings us to another issue that I was told to add a 4 at the end of the Zone_Blind in the sbbsecho.cfg file. I am assuming that means the first 4 zones should be considered as one. Over the past few weeks with the issues of the INTL kludge line in echomail (which was determined sbbsecho was not to blame) my head is spinning.... not that it doesn't normally spin anyway.
The way to use it as we have for international traffic Bill, is how I mentioned it to you. If you toggle Zone Blind on again, you will run
into seen by problems again.

Quick question if I may.
Quick answer if I might!

No need for your head to spin.
So, going back to Rob.. he added an optional number after the
ZONE_BLIND option. This way you can do ZONE_BLIND 4 and zones 1 through
4 will keep all SEEN-BYs in those zones, but anything AFTER 4 will not.
Either way, it's tried and tested here, working great for Fidonet, and
the rest of the networks separately.
BTW, the INTL kludge stuffing wasn't any kind of scare except to the original person that posted about it when they realized it was their
own system. LOL!

Hello Bill!
With whatever settings you sent the below message, the result is what
is wanted.
I will comment on your nect two as well, as they have the PATH
stripped.

Here's the SEEN-BYs and PATHs I see here from your message. It
looks like you fixed it! Odd that it needed a complete server
reboot, but... your othernet node numbers definitely aren't there anymore! :)

i've seen bill's posts arrive here via two different paths... one
carries the errant entries in the seenbys and the other does not... one
of the first different systems in the path uses sync (nickB) and the
other does not (andrewL)... this may be a distraction because i don't
know if bill changed anything between the messages being written...
