    Hi Guys

    If any of you were interested in (or you are hosting) USENET message areas but were
    thrown off by the spam and dead areas, with Nick Andre's support I started the EchoMail Project to clean it up!

    Take a peek at https://echomailproject.org

    Have a great day.

    PS I'll be moving my API over there as well so you'll be able to use it too. --- SBBSecho 3.14-Linux

    Did you mean to post this in the FSX_ADS? Not sure how many may see it... (I normally ignore the FSX_ADS but just happened to look today.)

    You may like to leverage some of the work I've already done (not fussed either way) - but I've built an FTN Mailer/Tosser using "web technologies" for the purpose of managing networks.

    Managing available USENET areas (that are gated for FTN) probably fits well in what I'm doing - and I've done some of the ground work already. Record those that are "SPAM" vs "ACTIVE" would just be an additional flag (and some processing to toggle that flag).

    My project is here https://clrghouz.bbs.leenooks.net, and it's built on top of cockroachdb - which currently is split between 3 nodes in AU and 2 in UK (thanks to MeatLotion). The frontend is designed to be stateless, so they can be spun up in those same locations (and will be soon) that will manage inbound and outbound mail for downstream systems. FSX specific info is here: https://clrghouz.bbs.leenooks.net/network/2 (if it's slow, it should only be slow the first time as suck data out of the DB and cache it).

    Performance is a hinderance (and I'm discovering things along the way), but it's highly scalable, extendable and should make it easy for folks to "get" USENET and to manage usenet areas.

    Anyway, I thought I'd suggest it.
