It does catch out everybody, and yes it is wrong.

The number indicates what is the "primary" zone for that path (you have C:\\ele\\irex\\outbound), ie: so everything in that path is zone "x" (you have 1 for the first line). Anything in a path C:\\ele\\irex\\outbound.XXX will be for zone XXX (where XXX is the zone number in hex, so zone 21 will be 015).

So you decide what is your primary domain (most use fidonet) and if you are in zone 1 fidonet, then use "1" for *every* line. binkd will then know anything in a "outbound.XXX" is for the other zones. The mapping is done with the domain from the address, matched to the domain of the "domain":

 > domain amiganet /home/husky/outbound 3
 > ...
 > address 39:901/0@amiganet

So binkd in this case will know that anything in outbound.027 is for amignet, and the zone is 39.

You'll need to make sure the "primary" for your mail tosser works a similar way and understands the same primary outbound dir.
