   Hello deon!

16 Sep 25 22:45, you wrote to me:

HPT leaves the files in outb directory.
---hpt/config--- (fidoconfig)
[...]
inbound /var/spool/ftn/inb/unsecure
protinbound /var/spool/ftn/inb
outbound /var/spool/ftn/outb
[...]

I changed binkd.conf to both domains have 4 in the end.
[...]
domain fidonet /var/spool/ftn/outb 4
domain fsxnet  /var/spool/ftn/outb 4
[...]

First it tries with the appropiate address and then switches to the other network and of course it would not resolve the hostname.

 de> Maybe try without the domain name at the end of the "domain"
 de> statements.

 de> Also, the "zone" ID (4,21) on the "domain" lines are not the zone's of
 de> the othernets, but it indicate what "zone" is your *primary* domain.

 de> This needs to be consistent with your mail tosser.

 de> If your mail tosser is putting fsxnet mail in /var/spool/ftn/outb.015,
 de> then you need to change binkd's configuration to have "4" for the
 de> fsxnet domain, not 21. (Assuming hpt is treating your "fidonet" AKA as
 de> your *primary* AKA - and thus it is packaging your fidonet mail to
 de> "/var/spool/ftn/outb")
