Where do you see the problems, where do you get errors? With binkd or hpt?

It shouldn't be a problem to use different mail / packet passwords (the
passwords you configure in your tosser / hpt config). The binkp protocol does
not support negotiating multiple passwords for multiple AKAs within one
session / poll, which can cause "weird "problems"".

Some nodes use hide-aka lines in binkd.cfg to only present one specific AKA
per poll. E.g.:

hide-aka 5:123/456@fidonet !*@fidonet
hide-aka 400:1/2@othernet !*@othernet

One AKA, one password per session -> no problems. Different passwords could
work in this case. But I think it's better to just use the same password.
Multiple passwords don't make it more secure.
