      Hello Joacim!   
      
   14 Oct 25 13:16, you wrote to all:   
      
   Have you tried killing binkd process manually? It happened to me many times   
   when I'm/was trying to test binkd I ran into weird behaviours.   
   I was restarting the service -FreeBSD- sudo service binkd restart but somehow   
   not everytime took the config changes, then one time I k9ed every binkd pid.

    JM> Fidonet (in and outgoing) works fine. Netmail to other networks (in   
    JM> and outgoing) works fine but regular packets (echomail) to other   
    JM> networks does not.   
      
    JM> this is from Binkd:   
      
    JM> domain fidonet /fido/outbound 2   
    JM> domain fido alias-for fidonet   
    JM> domain fidonet.org alias-for fidonet   
    JM> domain amiganet /fido/amiganet 2   
    JM> domain fsxnet /fido/fsxnet 2   
    JM> domain micronet /fido/micronet 2   
      
    JM> This is from crashmail.prefs:

    JM> Now, this is not an static error. For some reason, Binkd would send a   
    JM> number of packets to Amiganet and then when I write some more messages   
    JM> it will not touch it.   
      
    JM> This file tells Binkd what to send (I think):   
      
    JM> ftn@bbsutils:/fido/amiganet.027$ ls   
    JM> 009600c8.try   
      
    JM> In the packets directory lies the package itself:   
      
    JM> ftn@bbsutils:/fido/packets$ ls   
    JM> ee2fef00.pkt   
      
      
    JM> I've checked: file permissions, network, DNS. It's all correct.  And   
    JM> as I said: it all works with Fidonet.   
      
    JM> I have no idea what to try next.  Any ideas are welcome.
