I don't know how synchronet works, so maybe this is "automatic", but I think there should be an exception for this route:
39:943/ALL shouldn't be routed to 39:90/0 ! Because you would get those messages back immediately, and a loop is born...

You shouldn't but it seems you do!?

There is no "39:943/all no route"...?
Hi all i working on makenl to create a nodelist updates for 39:943
the tool generate a simple netmail to send the generated file this is
the fmsgdump output:

I move that file to netmail directory on sbbs for sbbsecho procesing.
I notice that the sbbsecho log weird address (4:943) instead of 39:943,
so this was ruoted via 4:* (zone was rewrite)

Looks like Fuzzy Zone operation is enabled.
Fuzzy Zone Operation when set to Yes, if SBBSecho receives an inbound
netmail with NO international zone information, it will compare the
net/node of the destination to the net/node information in your AKAs
and assume the (source and destination) zone of a matching AKA.
This setting defaults to No.

I checked a stored message that makenl generates. It has the complete 4D address of the source and destination in the header (and also the source address in the MSGID kludge). A tosser should put those in the INTL kludge of the packed message in the .pkt file it generates. The Fuzzy Zone setting shouldn't overrule the information in an INTL kludge if present. So where does this go wrong?

The Fuzzy Zone setting instructs SBBSecho to ignore the zone information in
the netmail message header. If the netmail itself had an INTL kludge, it would use the zone information from that, but makenl isn't adding it. So, with Fuzzy Zone behavior, SBBSecho will "guess" the zone information based on the destination net/node/point. It's an arcane feature for old pre-historic "stored messages" and probably should just be removed.

Indeed, you probably almost never need it. Maybe with really old software that generates *.msg files. But should you want to use that software?
This was the correct solution, I had deactivated fuzzy zone, but it
still did not work until I changed the INTL parameter in the makenl config

If that is truly the case, then there's a bug - and I would be surprised (since that's some pretty damn old code there). Are you positive? Do you mind retesting, that is, disabling the INTL parameter in your makenl config, double checking your sbbsecho.ini that "Fuzzy Zone" operation is in fact not enabled, and reproducing the problem again?

Yes I can confirm with fuzzy zone is disabled and whitout INTL parameter
on makenl.ctl, it does not work

Okay, thanks for confirming. I see what's going on now: "Fuzzy Zone" operation is for *importing* netmail, which is not what you're having a problem with. Your problem was with *packing* netmail, where the "Fuzzy Zone" feature is not used and instead the zone information from the header of the netmail message is simply discarded. I'll fix that and appreciate you re-testing when you get a chance and letting us know how that worked.
