Hey guys,

I haven't been using binkd for very long here, but am learning as I go. I just
stumbled on a little issue I'm having and was wondering if there's something
I'm doing wrong, or maybe it's a possible bug.

I'll try to keep things short and sweet, but still provide enough
information.

domain fidonet /sbbs/ftn/fido/outbound 1
domain battlnet /sbbs/ftn/fido/outbound 169
domain micronet /sbbs/ftn/fido/outbound 618

I have my domains setup like so, which uses hex outbound directories. So in my
node lines I have:

node 1:120/***@fidonet -md <uplink_address> <password>
node 169:1/***@battlnet -md <uplink_address> <password> c
/sbbs/ftn/fido/outbound.0a9
node 618:200/***@micronet -md <uplink_address> <password> c
/sbbs/ftn/fido/outbound.26a

Now, if I understand correctly, when sending netmail with my fidonet address
(and the original outbound directory) my BBS software (Synchronet) creates an
*.out file which binkd changes to a *.pkt upon sending to my uplink. So
everything is working correctly here.

Now when I try to send a netmail using any one of my other AKAs that use the
hex outbound directories, the *.out file is created, but upon sending to my
uplink binkd does NOT change it to a *.pkt file. This was found out by an
uplink of mine that had to rename it manually, which it then imported into
their system fine after that.

Am I doing something totally wrong here?

Take care,
Nick

Your configuration is wrong. Please look "Binkd FAQ" question 22.

Thank you. I've changed it to reflect a 4D tosser. Now I have:

/sbbs/ftn/fido/outbound

..as my outbound directory via my tosser, and:

domain fidonet /sbbs/ftn/fido/outbound/fidonet 1
domain micronet /sbbs/ftn/fido/outbound/micronet 1

Does this look better?

I didn't realize I was dealing with a 4D tosser. Thank you for pointing me to
the FAQ as I've just been going off the reference page.

Thanks again!
Nick

New conficuration valids for 5D-compatible tosser. For 4D-compatible tosser and
several ftn domains with different zone numbers config should be:
domain fidonet /sbbs/ftn/fido/outbound 1
domain micronet /sbbs/ftn/fido/outbound 1

Yep. Thank you. I realized that when nothing would get mailed out. Everything
seems good now.

Thanks again!
