Yep, sounds like binkd believes the "outbound.539" directory is for a different zone but for the same domain (fsxNet) then... Ta> domain fsxnet /home/bbs/ftn/outbound 21 Ta> domain tqwnet /home/bbs/ftn/outbound 1337 Still wondering a little about that 1337 there, as specifying it should make binkd believe that anything for zone 1337 shouldn't be placed in a directory named "outbound.1337", but rather in the directory named "outbound". Which would then collide with the fsxNet outbound (which also uses the "outbound" directory). Did you try changing this to: domain fsxnet /home/bbs/ftn/outbound 21 domain tqwnet /home/bbs/ftn/outbound 21 ....or even something more apparent like: domain fsxnet /home/bbs/ftn/outbound 21 domain tqwnet /home/bbs/ftn/outbound 999 ....just so that you get a non-match (21 != 1337 and 999 != 1337) for the default zone specified on the domain line, so that binkd knows to look for tqwnet things in the "outbound.1337" directory rather than in the "outbound" directory? The old documentation reference link I have for this would be: https://web.archive.org/web/20171117081757/http://old.vk.pp.ru/docs/binkd/index ..htm#config.domain I believe this would be "Example 2". Sorry if you already tried that. :) This is interesting but intriguing stuff. :) Best regards Zip --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A48 2022/07/07 (Linux/64) * Origin: Star Collision BBS, Uppsala, Sweden (21:1/202) .
