I've added dovenet sub-boards and I'm getting content, but cannot seem to post.

Also have gotten alt.bbs exported.

But my postings fail. The point software doesn't show problem, but I get 
a security violation on the BBS side.

2026-02-05 23:13:10 DOVE-GENERAL: Security violation - 1:3634/58 not in Area File

2026-02-06 02:02:07 ALT.BBS: Security violation - 1:3634/58 not in Area File

I'm not sure where the problem is. Here are entries for these sub-boards from area.bbs

DOVE-GENERAL    DOVE-GENERAL    1:3634/58       1:3634/58.1337

USENET_ALTBBS   alt.bbs 1:3634/58       1:3634/58.1337

Are these incorrect, or is there other things that need to be defined to allow the BBS itself to be the "uplink/hub" for the sub-board?

...People like criticism...just keep it positive and flattering.
