Subj : Issue with BinkD and outbound attempts.

 ER> So, Lately I've noticed that my BinkD, which is configured with 2 domains 
now, instead of just one.
 ER> 
 ER> domain fidonet /bbs/mailer/outbound 1
 ER> domain gatornet /bbs/mailer/outbound 1
 ER> 
 ER> This is causing some interesting issues that, when binkd tries to "call" 
Z:N/NNN, it first tries to call Z:N/NNN@fidonet, and if that, for any reason 
fails, it tries to callout to Z:N/NNN@gatornet, which fails IF it connects 
because the remote end doesn't have that AKA as @gatornet.
 ER> 
 ER> I was having this issue recently, and I'm not really sure how to... Not 
cause that to happen because, I see it still happening, however, neither @case 
connects, but in one case (Tommi knows about this, since he was being called to 
many times over), one failed, one worked, to resolve, just not establish 
session. heh
 ER> 
 ER> So, how can I... Solve this issue properly? This is a pure 
binkd+huskytools HUB server, no BBS, mail only setup.


When I tested hpt last year I had the same problem. I didn't like hpt anyway 
and switched to Crashmail and 5D again. I might be missing something, but for 
me this behaviour makes sense. There is a .flo file in the outbound of fidonet 
_and_ gatornet (both domains use the same outbound config) and of course binkd 
is trying both networks. What is missing in binkd is a way to map zone numbers 
to domains.

You could try to put the domain in the node line, like

node 1:2/3@fidonet ...

I haven't tried that, but in theory 1:2/3@gatornet shouldn't match 
1:2/3@fidonet and if there is no match, there should be no call. I guess binkd 
would also try to lookup the binkp.net address for the gatornet domain if you 
have a "defnode *' line in binkd.cfg.

If nothing works you could try a 5D config in binkd and symlinks for the 4D 
tosser, someting like

../othernet
../gatornet
../outbound
../outbound.002
../outbound.039 -> ./gatornet
../outbound.fff -> ./othernet

Maybe others have better ideas :)
