    From Mike Powell@1:2320/107 to All on Sun Apr 5 11:15:20 2026
    Here is a line from my areas file:

    FileArea SF_INFO /home/bbs/u/dirs/OTHRNETS -a 42:1/100 -g C -d "SF Net Info Packs" 42:17/7 -def 42:1/101 42:1/102 42:1/103 42:1/104 42:1/105 42:12/1 42:61/0

    As you can see, 42:17/1 is mentioned *nowhere*. 42:1/100 is the aka provided. Yet in the tic file that is created:

    From 42:17/1 <---- WHY & HOW?
    To 42:1/103
    Origin 42:1/100 <---- Should be this value in both!

    Why is it picking a random Z42 aka from the config and not using the aka set up for that file area in the FileArea definition?

    What is the "OurAKA" setting for the link 42:1/103 in your fidoconf?

    I think you found it. ;) it was 17/1 instead of 1/100. I will see what happens the next time I send a file out!

    Thanks!

    I think you found it. ;)

    I was just about 99.9% sure about the reason. ;)

    Thanks!

    You're welcome!
