grab this file from my site,

  https://sestar.synchro.net/temp/binkd-networks.conf

put it somewhere, and point your binkd to it... i include it in my binkd.conf 
just below my addresses list like this...

address 1:3634/12@fidonet 1:3634/0@fidonet 1:123/0@fidonet 1:18/0@fidonet
#######################################
# include all known FTN networks list #
#######################################
include /sbbs/ftn/nodelist/binkd-networks.conf

it is a plain ascii test file... the way it is currently set up is for 5D FTN 
operations but most will use it in 4D FTN operations... the comments section at 
the top of the file should explain the difference and what to change... you'll 
need to edit it anyway to make the outbound paths fit your system... yes, on my 
system, all of those outbound directories exist even though i've never 
connected with any of them...

the list is pretty accurate and has been built over years of binkd connections 
with systems flying othernet addresses... yes, some/many of these old FTNs may 
not exist any more... it doesn't hurt anything to keep them listed and it is 
the only remaining list i know of for so many of the FTN othernets that 
existed...

now with all that said, it should also be noted that if a remote system has 
forgotten to add the domain to their addresses, you'll see a similar message as 
you are seeing now... that's a problem on their end, not yours but this case 
looks like you need this or a similar domains list file...
