Here's the thing: Crashmail can only use one (1) directory for it's outbound 
mail. Which is fine. 

When I create a netmail for a Fidonet recipient, Crashmail finds it: 

1 message exported
Scanning for orphan files
Scanning for old packets
Scanning for new files to pack
Sending unpacked netmail to 2:201/0.0 (Normal)
Updating hwm for area NETMAIL, old = 19, new = 20


I can verify this in the logs: 

Exporting message #20 from "Joacim Melin" to "joacim melin" at 2:201/420 Uses 
this route statement: ROUTE "2:*/*.*" "2:201/0.0" "2:201/120" Routing message 
to 2:201/420.0 via 2:201/0.0

A token file to trigger a crash send is created in the outbound directory:


drwxrwxrwx  2 nobody 4294967294 4096 Sep 17 16:16 . drwxrwxrwx 28 nobody 
4294967294 4096 Sep 17 14:30 .. -rw-r--r--  1 nobody 4294967294  356 Sep 17 
16:16 00c90000.out

So far, so good. 

When I create a netmail to a recipient in AmigaNet, here is what happens: 

Exporting message #19 from "Joacim Melin" to "areafix" at 39:150/200 Uses this 
route statement: ROUTE "39:*/*.*" "39:150/200.0" "39:160/242" Routing message 
to 39:150/200.0 via 39:150/200.0


Again, looks good. But, and a big but: the token file to crash it to 39:150/200 
is never created in the outbound directory. This, I guess, is simply because 
Crashmail only can handle one Netmail area for one network, in my case Fidonet. 


I will do some more experimenting. Maybe I need to use separate config files 
for each network.  

I'll report back later.
