   That's because your binkd config file specifies to look in those directories.   
   When using your default zone "2" for every network, it will automatically   
   create the hex extensions on your directories. When using this method (4D   
   addressing), it is better to use one outbound directory, ie:   
      
   domain fidonet /fido/outbound 2   
   domain fsxnet /fido/outbound 2   
   domain othernet /fido/outbound 2   
      
   This will use 'outbound' as your fidonet outbound (default), outbound.015 for   
   fsxnet, etc.   
      
   If Crashmail is properly using /fido/Amiganet, /fido/Fsxnet and so on   
   /without/ the hex extensions, your binkd config may be better off using this   
   as an example, where you put the actual zone number of the network instead of   
   your default zone (2). This is proper 5D addressing, whereas you seem to be   
   trying to use a mixture of 4D and 5D configurations and hoping for the best at   
   the moment:   
      
   domain fidonet /fido/outbound 2   
   domain fsxnet /fido/fsxnet 21   
      
   .. and the same for every other network you have, with their proper zone   
   number. This (I believe) disables the hex extensions and allows you to use   
   directory names without them.   
      
   This method only works with Crashmail and a few other tossers that support   
   multiple outbound directories. Aside from that, I'm not sure where you've   
   specified directories with uppercase letters (maybe further into your   
   Crashmail config that you didn't post?) but you will have to deal with that   
   separately.   
      
    > Now I'm taking a backup of all configuration files...   
      
   If it's currently working, back them up. Then maybe look into the difference   
   between 4D and 5D addressing so that you understand better. From what I can   
   tell, your configuration may currently be working, but it is still not correct.   
      
   Hope that helps.   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
