It's just ".fidonet". The zone is present, I'm not sure why you would need or
want multiple fake TLDs.

It's the other way around. Mail received via SMTP can be addressed to
sysop@f<node>.n<net>.z<zone>.fidonet and the mail message will be stored as
FidoNet NetMail message which SBBSecho can then pack/route/etc.

Like-wise, locally-stored received FTN NetMail can be read/replied to using a
POP3-capable email client.
