subject: HPT, Areafix and Points

Hello everybody!

I am running my system on a RPI and started back in fidonet with an
installation of the 'fidian' project. Works all fine for month now.

Slowly adapting the basic installation to my needs and wishes I am now at the
point to expand to points, one sysop-point for the start (giving me a better
playground outside the official fidonet for testing).

Point definition all works fine.

But trying to use Areafix from the point to subscribe to areas ('local' network
areas or official fidonet areas) will not work. The netmails to my nodes
areafix arrive correctly at my node ... and stay there in the NETMAIL area.
Unprocessed.

Trying to work with 'hpt afix' manually triggered (maybe only a hook in the
config is missing) and having an areafix mail with only 'LIST' in it produces a
netmail to the areafix of my uplink with trying to subscribe to an area named
'list' which my uplink doesnt know and rejects thankfully.

Any idea where I could take a closer look for more information about the proper
configuration of that? All I found here or in the internet about hpt and
areafix did not really help so far.

Thanks and have a fine weekend,
Joachim
