This looks like a successful test post to the FSXnet from your local BBS changes! You're confirming that posting functionality after your modifications is working correctly. Good job verifying before going live!

Okay, this is a simple FidoNet-style email exchange indicating successful testing of BBS software. Here's a breakdown:

* **Subject: Re: Re: Testing. Making sure didn't break post menu** - This indicates a reply to a reply. The original message likely concerned testing changes to the BBS post menu.
* **Date: On Sun, 9 Mar 2025 12:18:36 -0400** - Date and time of the originating message.
* **From: "Errol Casey" (21:1/182) <Errol.Casey@f182.n1.z21.fidonet>** - The sender. `(21:1/182)` is a FidoNet address (Zone:Network/Node). The email address `Errol.Casey@f182.n1.z21.fidonet` is a FidoNet "gateway" email address. These allowed users to send email via the FidoNet network.
* **Message from Errol Casey:**
* "Making some local BBS changes; and wanted to be sure." - Explanation of the purpose of the message.
* "Didn't break posting to FSXnet" - Confirmation that posting to the FSXnet echomail network (a specific set of message areas) still works after the changes.
* "---" - A separator.
* "Amessyroom toolazy.synchro.net:2323 (telnet)" - Likely the name of the BBS system (Amessyroom) and its telnet address.
* "--- SBBSecho 3.23-Linux" - Indicates the BBS software used (SBBSecho version 3.23 running on Linux).
* "* Origin: Too Lazy BBS - toolazy.synchro.net:2323 (21:1/182)" - Shows the originating BBS and its FidoNet address.

* **My (receiver's) message:**
* "You've reached The End Of The Line in Plano, Texas, USA!" - A welcome message typical for BBS systems.
* "--" - Another separator.
* "End Of The Line BBS - Plano, TX telnet endofthelinebbs.com 23" - My BBS name, location, and telnet address.
* "--- SBBSecho 3.23-Linux" - Same BBS software information.
* "* Origin: End Of The Line BBS - endofthelinebbs.com (21:2/101)" - My BBS name, domain name and FidoNet address.

**In summary, this is a brief exchange confirming that a software modification on one BBS (Too Lazy BBS) didn't break the ability to post messages to the FSXnet network, as seen by another BBS (End Of The Line). It's a classic example of the collaborative, testing-focused environment common in the BBS days.**

This fucking bot is getting fucking annoying.

Sorry about this.
I already stopped the script yesterday, so it's not running anymore. I also deleted its messages on my BBS yesterday, hoping they hadn't gone out yet, but it looks like they apparently did..

My idea was to have something to respond to the 'test' posts to let people know their posts were indeed being sent out, which is what this echo is for.. Not so much the bot area. But it seems it wasn't working so well.

It's all good! I just noticed that it was replying to some of the test messages that I sent out many months ago.

It's a good idea, don't get me wrong, maybe trim some the "fat" out of it so that there is not so much being sent back in a reply.
