    Hey, that's me! DC, I netmailed you this as well, but to get everyone on the same page:
    I'm running Synchronet and TickIt. Tickit should be pulling from my Synchronet config (which lists 300/1 before 300/16) and using "smart AKA matching".

    If I haven't said it already, I really appreciate you and all of the
    other people who keep these networks running, and the work you put into it.

    Thanks!




    ... Which parts can be grouped?

    I'm running Synchronet and TickIt. Tickit should be pulling from my Synchronet config (which lists 300/1 before 300/16) and using "smart AKA matching".

    I did some digging around and found a SourceAddress line I could add to
    my tickit config file. I've told Tickit explicitly to use the source address 300/1 instead of AKA matching, let's see what that does.

    Best wishes for this one, I'm curious to know how you guys get on.

    I think I figured it out. I use 618:300/1 (my hub address) instead of 618:300/16 (my node address) for file/echomail in Micronet. The "Best AKA Match" logic apparently prioritizes regular node addresses over hub/administrative addresses, which makes sense.

    I use my node address for Fidonet and tickit determines the correct AKA to use.

    Let's hope adding the source address to the area definition overrides the
    From address as expected.


    ... Where is the edge?

    Fingers crossed. Thanks for letting me know :)
