Anything's possible, but I don't see how. Also, testing locally here, NNTP seems to be working fine.

If you go back to and older revision, does it work then?

Modified Files:
exec/nntpservice.js
Log Message:
Insure that message base is closed before opening another.

This should address the issue raised by Michael J. Ryan in issue #4.
The command in question ("GROUP") would attempt to open the message
base associated with the specified newsgroup name without closing
the currently open/selected message base (if there was one). This would
result in multiple simultaneously open message bases and could result
in an exhaustion of open file descriptors leading to a failure to open
any additional files (includign message bases) and thus a subsequent
"GROUP" command would fail with the wrong "!no such group" error.

FYI:

i found that cardbook extension of thunderbird did not work with sbbs
nntp service. I submit to cardbook author and sems to fixed now

Anyway, this issue is only with sbbs service, i have another nntp
accounts without problems.

yeah i guess that parsing the from address was cause this issue

maybe the "/" char break the standard use@domain (rf822) ? if true, can
be possible to replace with another character?

Looking at that issue report, it seems it had problems with user@ADDRESSes that did not include "/" as well, so I don't think that was the issue.

Nothing in RFC822 appears to disallow a "/" in the "domain" portion of the mailbox addr-spec.

A "/" in an addrss appears to be RFC822-compliant.

Log Message:
Use SMTP-routable Fido/QWK netmail addresses is From header fields

Use the Synchronet-supported FTN/QWKnet routable addressing in the from fields of messages posted via those network types. Using the mailutil.js fidoaddr_to_emailaddr() function that was apparently created for listserver.js but then made unnecessary (and thus unused for several years).

I think this addresses the concerns from issue #487. Reading a message via
NTTP (using the Synchronet NNTP service) in Thunderbird, one can now reply
to sender via email and it "just works" so long as the sysop has configured
the network support for those net-types correctly and Thunderbird is
configured with the Synchronet mail server as its SMTP server to use for that newsgroup folder. Whether the Synchronet mail server is configured to use direct delivery or relay is not relevant (though mentioned in the issue description).
