query: which password in the subject line does a linked node need to use
to qualify their filefix queries/instructions as valid for their

query: can we list multiple aliases the bot will recognize in the To:

You can just create multiple [robot:name] sections, one for each alias.

I'm not DM, but would suggest 'filefix' for sure, as it's sort of
the usual/standard label.

Yeah, 'filefix' was the hard-coded to-name in the original commit. I just committed an update that supports tickfix.ini where you can specify a list of aliases. I do not recommend having 'tickfix' in that list however as responses are sent *from* "TickFix" and that could result in a bot-loop.

Gamgee>> YES!!! :thumbs-up: :-)

Cool. I don't use tickIT myself, yet, so I'll need test results.

after playing with tickfix, i'm thinking that the responses for the %blah queries should be in individual replies instead of stuffing them all into one reply... possibly also add the %blah query to the subject line as well... that would make it easier for the requesting operator to find a specific reply... this because if they request %list and %unlinked, it could be hard to figure out which list is which... same with %query...

eg message with two queries:
fr: john doe (1:123/456)
to: tickfix (1:123/654)
re: password
----------------------------
%help
%list
-!-


eg response1:
fr: tickfix (1:123/654)
to: john doe (1:123/456)
re: your file echo %help query
------------------------------
TickFix 1.4 Help

In the body of the message, one or more:

+<tag> Connect an area
+ALL Connect all areas
-<tag> Disconnect an area
-ALL Disconnect all areas
%HELP This message
%LIST List of all available areas (tags)
%QUERY List of linked / connected areas
%UNLINKED List of unlinked areas
[---] Everything below the tear line is ignored
-!- TickFix 1.4


eg response 2:
fr: tickfix (1:123/654)
to: john doe (1:123/456)
re: your file echo %list query
------------------------------
The following xxxx file echo areas are available from 1:123/654.

[list of file echo tags here]

-!- TickFix 1.4


using the above example, a %query might say:


Your system, 1:123/456, is connected to 1:123/654 for the following xxxx file echo areas.

[list of file echo tags here]

-!- TickFix 1.4



if an operator requests adding or removing areas from their link, put those all into one response message... maybe like this (message body only)...


The following file echo areas have been added to or removed from the feed to 1:123/456.

FOO added
BAR added
FUBAR removed
FOOBAR added
XYZZY unknown area
-!- TickFix 1.4


one of the things i'm looking at with including the addresses in the response lines is if a system has multiple FTN addresses and is connected to some areas with one address and other areas with another address... this might be the case for a *C system... they might be connected to general file areas with their regular node number and to the nodelist areas with their *C x:y/0 admin address...

i'm sure there are other security validation things that we could do, too... like creating the responses to the "operator on record" name instead of just replying the name the request was sent from... or maybe rejecting requests if they are not from the "operator on record's" name... "operator on record" being the name we have in our sbbsecho.ini for the requesting system's address... i'm thinking of folks playing ""games"" if they figure
out a system's areafix password and send bogus requests to (dis)connect all areas by spoofing the from address but i guess it is also possible for them to figure out the "operator on record" name as well... the main thing is that the response message would go to the operator on record so they would see these requests...

aside from that, we're getting closer :)

Yes, I strongly agree with this request... Did a %LIST and %QUERY in the same netmail to Tickfix, and got back only one (LONG) reply. It required careful reading and some cut/paste to get the results into two messages to show available areas vs. connected areas. Would be much nicer to have a separate message reply to each "%<whatever>" keyword, which is the way most "Areafix" responders answer multiple-keyword netmails for message area changes.

Thanks though, to all of you who are making this possible. A long-awaited feature, getting very close now! Appreciate it greatly!
