So. My binkd.cfg:

domain fidonet /fido/outbound 2
domain amiganet /fido/outbound 39
# domain retronet /fido/outbound 2

#
#  Aliases to support known wrong 5D configurations domain fido        
alias-for fidonet

#
#  Aliases to support known DNS domain zones
#  (some people is mix up the terms "FTN domain" and "DNS internet domain")
domain fidonet.org alias-for fidonet
domain fidonet.net alias-for fidonet


#
# Your addresses, 5D or 4D or 3D:
#   address <addr1> ...
# If first address specified as 3D/4D then domain for it sets from domain # 
defined in the first "domain" token. If second and more addresses specified
# as 3D/4D then domain sets from first address.
#
address 2:201/120@fidonet
address 39:160/242@amiganet

The nodenames are setup like this:

node address@fidonet/amiganet and then hostname, port and password. 

Crashmail.prefs:


AKA 2:201/120.0
DOMAIN "fidonet"

AKA 39:160/242.0
DOMAIN "amiganet"

; Nodes

NODE 2:201/0.0 "" "" AUTOADD PACKNETMAIL CRASH
NODE 39:150/200.0 "" "" AUTOADD PACKNETMAIL CRASH

ROUTE 2:*/*.* 2:201/0.0 2:201/120.0
ROUTE 1:*/*.* 2:201/0.0 2:201/120.0

ROUTE 39:*/*.* 39:150/200.0 39:160/242.0

Did I forget anything? 

Thanks,

Joacim
