   Issue with BinkD and outbound attempts.

    ER> So, Lately I've noticed that my BinkD, which is configured with 2 domains   
   now, instead of just one.   
    ER>    
    ER> domain fidonet /bbs/mailer/outbound 1   
    ER> domain gatornet /bbs/mailer/outbound 1   
    ER>    
    ER> This is causing some interesting issues that, when binkd tries to "call"   
   Z:N/NNN, it first tries to call Z:N/NNN@fidonet, and if that, for any reason   
   fails, it tries to callout to Z:N/NNN@gatornet, which fails IF it connects   
   because the remote end doesn't have that AKA as @gatornet.   
    ER>    
    ER> I was having this issue recently, and I'm not really sure how to... Not   
   cause that to happen because, I see it still happening, however, neither @case   
   connects, but in one case (Tommi knows about this, since he was being called   
   to many times over), one failed, one worked, to resolve, just not establish   
   session. heh   
    ER>    
    ER> So, how can I... Solve this issue properly? This is a pure    
   inkd+huskytools HUB server, no BBS, mail only setup.   
      
      
   When I tested hpt last year I had the same problem. I didn't like hpt anyway   
   and switched to Crashmail and 5D again. I might be missing something, but for   
   me this behaviour makes sense. There is a .flo file in the outbound of fidonet   
   _and_ gatornet (both domains use the same outbound config) and of course binkd   
   is trying both networks. What is missing in binkd is a way to map zone numbers   
   to domains.   
      
   You could try to put the domain in the node line, like   
      
   node 1:2/3@fidonet ...   
      
   I haven't tried that, but in theory 1:2/3@gatornet shouldn't match   
   1:2/3@fidonet and if there is no match, there should be no call. I guess binkd   
   would also try to lookup the binkp.net address for the gatornet domain if you   
   have a "defnode *' line in binkd.cfg.   
      
   If nothing works you could try a 5D config in binkd and symlinks for the 4D   
   tosser, someting like   
      
   ./othernet   
   ./gatornet   
   ./outbound   
   ./outbound.002   
   ./outbound.039 -> ./gatornet   
   ./outbound.fff -> ./othernet   
      
   Maybe others have better ideas :)
