[Daniel Garrod]

Hello All,

I have BinkD set up to receive mail from 2:250/1, but now I need a mail tosser
that will work with BinkD to send outgoing mail, what is the easist software to
use and configure that works with BinkD on Linux?

Kind regards,
Daniel

I'd say Husky project's hpt is a de-facto standard tosser for Linux nodes these
days: https://github.com/huskyproject
There are pre-built packages for different distros, but even building &
configuring it from scratch won't be that hard.

crashmail is easier to set up, hpt is a bit more flexible if you want .tic
files as well..

Easiest: FMail
The best: Hpt

I use hpt with binkd on Ubuntu 22.04. It works quite well.

I followed the instructions here to get it installed:
https://github.com/huskyproject/huskybse/blob/master/INSTALL.asciidoc


There are some sample config files included. If you cloned the git to /tmp
you'd find them at /tmp/husky/hpt/config.

That may depend on your BBS software. I have a synchronet system that is
running its own sbbsecho tosser and it works fine with BinkD on linux. I
have also used BinkD with a couple of other systems that came with their
own tossers and they also worked.

Does your BBS software come with its own tosser?

I would recommend FMail, but I'm a little bit biased. ;-)
