   Hey Nick,   
      
   15 Oct 25 16:42, you wrote to me:

    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.
