Make the following mods bin/inject/anne.jones -------------------------------------------- # This should already exist if test -r $NEWSCTL/mailname; then mailname="`tr -d ' \11' <$NEWSCTL/mailname`" else mailname="`newshostname`" case "$mailname" in *.*) ;; # not a uucp host name *) mailname="$mailname.uucp" ;; # probably a uucp host name esac fi # End of the existing part # Add this after the above if test -r $NEWSCTL/ftnname; then ftnname="`tr -d ' \11' <$NEWSCTL/ftnname`" else ftnname=$mailname fi # End of the new part ------------------------------------------------- Then to the end of anne.jones look for this: ------------------------------------------------- awk -f $NEWSBIN/inject/defhdrs.awk defpath="$badsites$USER" deffrom="$FROM" \ deforg="$deforg" defdate="$defdate" defexpiry="$expiry" \ defmsgid="`set $date; echo \<$6$2$3.\` echo $4 | tr -d : \`.$$@$ftnname\>`" \ me="`newshostname`" $tmp ------------------------------------------------- In the the line beginning " defmsgid" ends with "`.$$@$host\>`" It should be "`.$$@$ftnname" as above. Then create a file "ftnname" in your /usr/local/lib/news or equivalent, with the internet style fido address in, for example p26.f325.n250.z2.fidonet.org This should generate Message-ID:'s with the ftn address. Works for me at least! -- Matthew.Millar@p26.f325.n2052.z2.fidonet.org millar@cix.compulink.co.uk
