Does anyone know the difference between these two settings in echocfg for SBBSEcho?

Linked Nodes -> <node> -> Local Address (AKA)
(Wiki says nothing)

and

Linked Nodes -> <node> -> BinkP Settings -> Source Address
(Wiki says: Address allows you to override the source FTN address used with outgoing BinkP mailer sessions with this linked node. Normally, this setting is left blank (not set).)

Does anyone know the difference between these two settings in echocfg for SBBSEcho?

Linked Nodes -> <node> -> Local Address (AKA)
(Wiki says nothing)

The EchoCfg online help (F1 key) says this about that:
Local Address is an optional local system address (AKA) to use when
sending packets to this node. When a Local Address is not specified
SBBSecho will automatically choose the local address that matches
the destination address (zone and net number) the closest
(Best Match).

and

Linked Nodes -> <node> -> BinkP Settings -> Source Address
(Wiki says: Address allows you to override the source FTN address used with outgoing BinkP mailer sessions with this linked node. Normally, this setting is left blank (not set).)

The latter affects BinkP sessions, the former affects Packets.

Linked Nodes ->> <node> -> Local Address (AKA)
Linked Nodes ->> <node> -> BinkP Settings -> Source Address

The latter affects BinkP sessions, the former affects Packets.

So, I've found that sometimes I need to set the Source Address to the proper FTN AKA to properly auth with the FTN Hub. When I do that, is it recommended I also set the Local Address to the same?

Thanks DM.
