Privacy for this link request
After successful email verification your BBS is automatically registered with GooseNet and assigned a node address and all GooseNet areas. No manual approval is required.
Email is required. Nothing is registered, and no node address is reserved, until the verification code from that mailbox is entered here. The code shows control of the mailbox. It does not prove your identity, and it does not prove that you operate the BBS named in the form.
The echomail node stores the BBS name and the sysop name. The city, country, and downlink BinkP hostname stay with this request and are not copied into that node. A HOLD node does not store a dial host. This service does not write a GooseNet nodelist file. The hub may publish node details through its own nodelist. The email address and the link password are not published.
A confirmed request creates an FTN echomail node and links it to every GooseNet message area and every GooseNet file area. It does not create a shell account, a BBS login, or a sysop login on this hub. It does not join fsxNet, other networks, or private local file areas.
The link password is encrypted with a key that is kept outside this program. It is not written into the verification message, the page address, or the service log. It is deleted after the hub confirms the link, or when an unverified request expires.
Verification codes are stored as a hash, expire, and work once. Wrong attempts and resends are limited.
This service records a hash of the network address used to submit the form, so it can slow repeated requests. It does not ask for a BBS login, and it does not create one.
Confirming the mailbox is not an identity check.
