      REPLY: 1:154/10 68f01874       MSGID: 2:280/464.47@fidonet 68f1149c       PID: GED+LNX 1.1.5-b20230205       CHRS: UTF-8 2       TZUTC: 0100       TID: CrashMail II/Linux 1.7       Hey Nick,              15 Oct 25 16:42, you wrote to me:               NB> I'm just going by what he originally said:               NB> --- Quote        NB> In Binkd I named the other networks Amiganet, Fsxnet, and so on. But        NB> the paths the outgoing stuff was written to was set to /fido/amiganet,        NB> /fido/fsxnet and so on.               NB> Naturally, Binkd was looking in /fido/Fsxnet.xxx and        NB> /fido/Amiganet.xxx.        NB> --- End Quote               NB> Notice there were no extensions in the first sentence.               NB> If his "stuff" was being /written/ to directories /without/ hex        NB> extensions, that is NOT binkd's doing, it is Crashmail. If he meant to        NB> say "But the paths the outgoing stuff was written to was set to        NB> /fido/amiganet.027, /fido/fsxnet.015 and so on," then it was simply a        NB> case problem where he defined his domains in binkd with uppercase        NB> first letters and lowercase first letters in Crashmail. However, that        NB> is NOT what he originally said. I gave him an answer to what he        NB> originally said.              You are right, I missed that or my brain autocorected it. As the the upper       case domains were defined in crashmail.prefs, but not in binkd, I assumed it       was simply a upper/lower case problem.               NB> If what he said was wrong, then my answer was wrong, too. One can only        NB> go by what is written when trying to help.              I believe it was, because Crashmail has no concept of a default zone for the       other domains. There is only one default zone (for the first domain /       outbound).              See https://github.com/ftnapps/crashmail/blob/master/src/crashma       l/outbound.c#L65              The outbound directory structure which Crashmail II supports looks like this:              /fido/outbound       /fido/outbound.001       /fido/amiganet.027       /fido/fsxnet.015              It only speaks 5D BSO, nothing else. It does not support the weird binkd style       outbound which omits the hex extension. And it has no 4D BSO support.              I made minor changes in the Crashmail sources to outbound.c. My Crashmail II       uses Amiga Style Outbound, which is supported by binkd. No stupid hex       extensions or .pnt directories.                             * Origin: kakistocracy (2:280/464.47)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187       SEEN-BY: 129/14 305 153/757 7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 214/22 218/0       SEEN-BY: 218/1 215 601 610 620 700 840 860 880 221/0 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 200 206 275 300 307 317 426 428 470 664 700 705 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 263/1 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 5555 291/111 292/854       SEEN-BY: 292/8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 460/58 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26       SEEN-BY: 5020/400       PATH: 280/464 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
