Good ${greeting_time}, Nick!

Only for 4D adressing, but crashmail uses FTSC compliant 5D BSO.

Wrong. With that configuration you don't get proper 5D outbound directories.
Crashmail does it correctly. A hex extension for all domains with the
exception of the first domain's default zone, e.g:

/fido/outbound
/fido/amiganet.027
/fido/fsxnet.015

Which is not standard compliant. Unfortunatly binkd's 5D implementation is not
correct and everyone seems to believe that it is. The configuration Joacim
used is a work around to achieve 5D BSO with binkd:

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

See FTS-5005 for the specification of 5D BSO.
