  • twitlist user syntax

    From Trikester@1:103/705 to All on Sun Nov 14 14:15:43 2021
    Hi all,

    Have been looking over the documentation in the wiki and in the twitlist file itself, and have not definitively found out whether a user being added to the twitlist can have a system name attached to them. It seems that one can add any user name they list, but I'm concerned that if a user of the same name showed up from a different system, the twitlist could filter them out as well.

    Does user@qwkname work?
    Does user@FTN work?

    No.
    Does user@FTN work?
    No.

    Great, is there anything that *does* work? If there's 'Bobby' on System A and another 'Bobby' on System B, how do we prevent filtering out all 'Bobby's?

    You can put the IP address or hostname of 'Bobby' in your text/ip.can or host.can file. That'll prevent those messages from being imported.

    Ah, I was going to respond asking further about that working via QWK net messages, but I see a lot more detail than I expected carried there. Interesting, thank you.

    If you update to the latest development build you should be able to use the user@qkwname or user@FTN syntax in your twitlist.cfg file. Try it out and let me know how it works for you, please.

    Just noticed the commit - that's pretty great, I'll give it a go and report back. Thanks!

    So far, seems to be working just fine! Messages are being filtered when matching with a user@qwkhost syntax.

    I haven't tried mixing & matching or anything extensive yet.

    One item I've now noticed is that prior to this change, putting USER in the twitlist resulted in messages both From and To being filtered out to matching USER. With the USER@NODE bit in there, only From is being filtered on (or matched, anyway).

    True. QWKnet and FTN public messages do not have a "destination" address to match to, so there would be no "NODE" to use in "USER@NODE" matching. Such syntax could work for filtering netmail (private messages, in theory), but I don't think that's what you're asking for.

    OK, I figured there could well be a complication there when getting more specific filtering. All good, just wanted to be sure I gave the feedback on what I was witnessing.

    Thanks!
