Outbound pkt files for other zones should be put in seperate automatically 
created directories.

For instance:

FidoNet Zone 1 -> /fido/outbound.001
AmigaNet Zone 39 -> /fido/outbound.027

You don't specify these either in your binkd.conf! This would look like:

domain fidonet  /fido/outbound 2
domain AmigaNet /fido/outbound 2



Bye, Wilfred.
