Someone can correct me if I'm wrong here, but after checking HPT's docs and
sample config files:

The difference here is that you use Crashmail, where I believe you can specify
a separate outbound directory for each network. I'm not sure you can do that
with HPT. HPT uses hex extensions to the original outbound directory for
different zone numbers from your "default zone". So, for example, in HPT
sample config:

outbound /home/username/fido/outbound

Sets only one outbound directory. However, when you setup other 
ones/networks, if your default zone is "2" it will automatically create
outbound.001 (for zone 1) outbound.015 (zone 21), outbound.02e (zone 46), etc.

If there is another way to do this, maybe with the "GROUPS" keyword, I never
bothered to look into it, since it works fine this way.

Binkd understands both of these methods, but the configuration for binkd to
find those directories in use is a bit different.

So, for HPT, it would be:

domain fidonet /fido/outbound 2
domain amiganet /fido/outbound 2
domain fsxnet /fido/outbound 2

etc..

Regards,
Nick
