   Hello everybody!

How can I troubleshoot binkd not processing outbound directories for other zones than default?
HPT leaves direct messages for zone 2 in outb.002 and so. I change loglevel to 9 but I still can see any errors in binkd.log.
The first time the tosser created the directories where created with 755 permission, I changed all of outb* directories to 770.
