no, that's the one place...

those two look ok... Zone 3 is your default outbound so your outbound
directories would match like this...

 D:\bbs\fd\outbound        Z3
 D:\bbs\fd\outbound.001    Z1
 D:\bbs\fd\outbound.002    Z2
 D:\bbs\fd\outbound.004    Z4
 D:\bbs\fd\outbound.028    Z40

the plain "outbound" or "out" or whatever you want to name it is always your
default zone... your default zone is taken from your first FTN address... the
other directories are given an extension, in hex, of the other zones...

yes, you need to operate taurus in pure BSO/FLO mode... in sbbs' echocfg
program, what mailer type do you have selected? this should be binkley/FLO...
taurus should not be looking in any special directory for netmail... sbbsecho
has to do your netmail packing and routing... with that said, what does your
sbbsecho.cfg contain for its DIRECT and ROUTE_TO lines?
