FNPGate History
1.00
- First writing of FNPGate.
- Version 1.00 only handles netmail functions.
- Version 1.00 only handles @GATE format, DOMAIN lines not properly
supported.
- Never released.
2.00 Beta A
- First echomail support.
- Zone-aware gating of echomail established.
2.00 Beta B
- Severely cut back length of instructions block in gated echomail.
2.00 Beta C
- Resolved problem with case-sensitivity on domain names.
- Resolved problem with zonegating and improper INTL lines.
2.00 Beta D
- Removed zonegating function due to incompatibility between FrontDoor
and other *.msg storage systems. Zonegating functions left to
routing software.
2.00 Beta E
- Misc coding cleanup. Removed alpha test clutter and last zonegating
remnants.
- Implemented report to screen on actual numbers of messages gated for
echomail and netmail.
2.00 Beta F
- Further reduced gated echomail instruction block to TWO lines.
2.00 Beta G
- Fixed bug regarding proper detection of valid INTL lines. Namely,
FNPGate would find them and promptly forget that it did.
- Switched OFF @GATE support and replaced it with simple drop-in
support for @DOMAIN in the FSC-0038 format. Effect is to maintain
text-based option to FSC-0038 control-A lines but at the same time to
allow uniform implementation of a SINGLE format standard for gateway
lines.
- Implemented Return-To-Sender function to return messages which are to
or from zones or domains not supported at the gateway. This finalizes
compatibility with the standards required by FidoNet Gateway Policy.
- Proper DOMAIN line inserted into processed netmail. Effect is to
standardize possibly errant DOMAIN lines and provide hooks for domain
forwarding capabilities.
2.00 Release
- FNPGate v 2.0 released.
2.50 Beta A
- Implemented support for domains without zones.
- Changed FNPGATE.CFG file structure to eliminate zone requirement and
implement nodelist lookup verification.
- Implemented nodelist lookup feature for source and destination addresses.
- Implemented /A command line parameter to bypass nodelist lookup and
assume addresses are accurate if they contain a valid domain.
2.50 Beta B
- Implemented domain-forwarding capability and FORWARD config keyword.
Messages to domains in which the gateway does not reside may be forwarded
to other systems for further delivery attempts. Such forward-to nodes
must reside in domains common to the FNPGate node.
- Eliminated all verification of source address. Destination address only
verified if message is actually gated on that system.
- Re-implemented Zonegate support which will operate on Binkley and
FrontDoor systems. Zonegate support is sensitive to non-zoned domains
as well.
- RTS will ONLY operate if destination address is invalid and no forwarding
is available for that domain.
2.50 Beta C
- Implemented minor procedure to hopefully obliterate possible memory
mismanagement.
2.50 Release
- Released FNPGate 2.50 as Freeware.
