 JM> So. My binkd.cfg:

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

If it was me, I'd change the 39 to 2

And I'd change the above to the following.

address 2:201/120.0@fidonet
address 39:160/242.0@amiganet

I'm not familiar with Crashmail so others can handle that part of the
equation...
