I cant send message when other site not online

[lykamspam]

Why I can't send message to other person when he is offline?

I create test network. 2 Node. I run rnsd on 2 nodes.
But when only one person run nomadnet and send message and next close nomadnet, other person cant read message loging to nomadnet.

Similar normal email. I would send message and logout and receive when my interlocutor not use your nomadnet. Is any idea to solve this? I have 2 different time to send receive data.

If there's nothing else on the network than those two peers, you will need something to temporarily hold the messages while the destination is offline. That's the job of LXMF propagation nodes. If a PN is available on the network, and set to be used by your messaging client, it will be able to hold messages that were undeliverable at the time of sending, until the destination reappears on the network.

In nomadnet, you can either select a propagation node to use for offline delivery manually, or you can mark one or more nodes as trusted in the node list. If there is a trusted node available, nomadnet will use the closest one.

In Sideband, a propagation node will automatically be selected if one is available on the network. Again, it will try to select the closest available one. You can also manually set a fixed propagation node to use in Sideband.

It's important to note, that you don't have to use the same PN as the person you are trying to send messages to. They will automatically sync with each other, and if there's some way of getting message to the destination, they will get there. This happens even if the connection between the PNs are intermittent and only available occasionally.

You can run your own propagation node(s) on the network easily in various ways:

• Use the lxmd program included in the LXMF package, and enable propagation node in the config file or via command line options.
• Enable LXMF propagation node in the nomadnet config file.
• I'm pretty sure there's also a propagation node option in Reticulum MeshChat.

This is what I wrote at the beginning. BOTH nodes work all the time and 'rnsd' programs work.
At the same time, nomadnet programs work only sometimes.

If you have any idea how to change it show. Exactly write step by step how to set so that nodes, despite the fact that they work all the time can still store data over time.

The answer is in the two comments above.

I still don't know how to do this. Wrote real answer. Real options
