   Hello Joacim!

14 Oct 25 13:16, you wrote to all:

Have you tried killing binkd process manually? It happened to me many times
when I'm/was trying to test binkd I ran into weird behaviours.
I was restarting the service -FreeBSD- sudo service binkd restart but somehow
not everytime took the config changes, then one time I k9ed every binkd pid.

 JM> Fidonet (in and outgoing) works fine. Netmail to other networks (in

 JM> networks does not.

 JM> this is from Binkd:

 JM> domain fidonet /fido/outbound 2
 JM> domain fido alias-for fidonet
 JM> domain fidonet.org alias-for fidonet
 JM> domain amiganet /fido/amiganet 2
 JM> domain fsxnet /fido/fsxnet 2
 JM> domain micronet /fido/micronet 2

 JM> This is from crashmail.prefs:

 JM> INBOUND /fido/inbound/
 JM> OUTBOUND /fido/outbound/
 JM> STATSFILE /etc/binkd/CrashMail.stats
 JM> TEMPDIR /fido/tmp/
 JM> CREATEPKTDIR /fido/tmp/
 JM> PACKETDIR /fido/packets/


 JM> Now, this is not an static error. For some reason, Binkd would send a

 JM> This file tells Binkd what to send (I think):

 JM> ftn@bbsutils:/fido/amiganet.027$ ls
 JM> 009600c8.try

 JM> In the packets directory lies the package itself:

 JM> ftn@bbsutils:/fido/packets$ ls
 JM> ee2fef00.pkt


 JM> I've checked: file permissions, network, DNS. It's all correct.  And
 JM> as I said: it all works with Fidonet.

 JM> I have no idea what to try next.  Any ideas are welcome.
