   Here's the thing: Crashmail can only use one (1) directory for it's outbound   
   mail. Which is fine.    
      
   When I create a netmail for a Fidonet recipient, Crashmail finds it:    
      
   1 message exported   
   Scanning for orphan files   
   Scanning for old packets   
   Scanning for new files to pack   
   Sending unpacked netmail to 2:201/0.0 (Normal)   
   Updating hwm for area NETMAIL, old = 19, new = 20   
      
      
   I can verify this in the logs:    
      
   Exporting message #20 from "Joacim Melin" to "joacim melin" at 2:201/420 Uses   
   this route statement: ROUTE "2:*/*.*" "2:201/0.0" "2:201/120" Routing message   
   to 2:201/420.0 via 2:201/0.0   
      
   A token file to trigger a crash send is created in the outbound directory:   
      
      
   drwxrwxrwx  2 nobody 4294967294 4096 Sep 17 16:16 . drwxrwxrwx 28 nobody   
   4294967294 4096 Sep 17 14:30 .. -rw-r--r--  1 nobody 4294967294  356 Sep 17   
   16:16 00c90000.out   
      
   So far, so good.    
      
   When I create a netmail to a recipient in AmigaNet, here is what happens:    
      
   Exporting message #19 from "Joacim Melin" to "areafix" at 39:150/200 Uses this   
   route statement: ROUTE "39:*/*.*" "39:150/200.0" "39:160/242" Routing message   
   to 39:150/200.0 via 39:150/200.0   
      
      
   Again, looks good. But, and a big but: the token file to crash it to   
   39:150/200 is never created in the outbound directory. This, I guess, is   
   simply because Crashmail only can handle one Netmail area for one network, in   
   my case Fidonet.    
      
   I will do some more experimenting. Maybe I need to use separate config files   
   for each network.     
      
   I'll report back later.
