    I agree its a great setup... I mostly had it working too.. very frustrating, I ironed out a lot of setup stuff as it presented itself, the one thing I could not seem to fix was my point getting its mail. HPT packed it, and it was sitting in appropriate outbounds in correct networks.. my point would poll and it would occasionally get fidonet, but never scinet or fsxnet mail.. It was the craziest thing.. So I guess ill probably spend some time here in the future going back over it again to see if I can figure out what I missed the first thousand times..<VBG>

    That's strange... I have everything set up in fileboxes here, including point systems. Have you tried setting a filebox for the point? Then you just point Binkd to the filebox location.

    To me, that makes it easier to see what's waiting for each link. :)

    I have never heard of that option so my guess is that I do not know how to set that up... Whats funny is my point setup is hpt/binkd and works with mystic controlling the mail, when I switched mystic to hpt/binkd not so much.. I could write mail on my point and hpt/binkd on bbs took care of it correctly etc... I had another sysop ssh in to my server and also could not see what the heck was going on.. It has to be something stupid that is getting over looked as everything else functions just as you would expect.

    So I run hpt/binkd as you know - and I feed two points wihtout any troubles (and I dont use fileboxes).

    The first step would be understanding which "bit" wasnt working. I'm assuming when your mystic was polling, it was collecting the mail?

    I know somebody else was having problems with mystic as a point from another BBS package, perhaps your issues are related.

    Anyway, happy to help you try and figure this out. hpt/binkd works well and I havent noticed any issues with it all where it's been the cause of the issue (except filefix when using mulitple netmail mailboxes - which I have a workaround).

    Yeah it has to be something simple somewhere, binkd/hpt polls all my networks collects mail, packs what I have assigned to points, puts it in the out for the point in the corresponding networks.. Just when I poll with the point to binkd it only gives me fido mail, not fsxnet or scinet its crazy.... do you know what would keep it from passing the packets? I could start there?

    If your willing id love to see your setup or I could share mine maybe could pick it out comparing a running setup with a non running one? My guess is its in config,links,binkd.cfg

    Yes, at a guess, binkd hasnt been setup correctly - even though you connect from a valid client (password passes, etc), when it looks in the "configured" outbound, it finds nothing. And I'm going to guess that configured outbound that binkd is using, is different to what you are thinking it is using.

    The most common mistake I've seen is how the "zone" id is added to "domain" keyword, and the mistake most folks make, is its not the zone of the domain (eg: fsxnet uses zone 21) - it represents the zone of the configured outbound, and thus mail for all other zones would have the hex zone address appended.

    (I know this might sound confusing...)

    So to help, share your domain configuration from you binkd config. (If anything to illiminate if that is the problem.)

    Yes, at a guess, binkd hasnt been setup correctly - even though you connect from a valid client (password passes, etc), when it looks in
    the "configured" outbound, it finds nothing. And I'm going to guess
    that configured outbound that binkd is using, is different to what you
    are thinking it is using.

    The most common mistake I've seen is how the "zone" id is added to "domain" keyword, and the mistake most folks make, is its not the zone
    of the domain (eg: fsxnet uses zone 21) - it represents the zone of
    the configured outbound, and thus mail for all other zones would have
    the hex zone address appended.

    so here is point config (which works, well as far as I can tell it does)

    domain fidonet /home/fido/ftn/outb 1
    domain fsxnet /home/fido/ftn/outb 015
    domain scinet /home/fido/ftn/outb 1


    Here is the bbs setup (which does not deliver mail correctly)

    domain fidonet /mystic/echomail/out 1
    domain fsxnet /mystic/echomail/out 15
    domain scinet /mystic/echomail/out 1
    domain agoranet /mystic/echomail/out 1
    domain dorenet /mystic/echomail/out 1

    Ive tried a couple variations on the bbs side without any change, I seem to remember this creating a problem for some people and I would love it if were something as simple....

    Appreciate your assistance..

    Hey Rick,

    The most common mistake I've seen is how the "zone" id is added to "domain" keyword, and the mistake most folks make, is its not the zone
    of the domain (eg: fsxnet uses zone 21) - it represents the zone of
    the configured outbound, and thus mail for all other zones would have
    the hex zone address appended.

    so here is point config (which works, well as far as I can tell it does)

    domain fidonet /home/fido/ftn/outb 1
    domain fsxnet /home/fido/ftn/outb 015
    domain scinet /home/fido/ftn/outb 1

    So here is where it is different for me - I dont use Mystic so I'm not sure how well it will respond to messages for a "zone" and an outbound path.

    The zone number at the end of the domain statement says "this is the zone for this outbound". So in your binkd config, you are saying that /home/fido/ftn/outb is the "zone" for zone 1 *AND* zone 15. Thats not going to work.

    In my case, since my "primary zone" is zone 10, my outbound has the same path (as you have), but the *SAME* number, ie: 10 for each domain name (where the only different is the name of the domain). Here is an example:

    domain private /fido/mailer/out 10
    domain dorenet /fido/mailer/out 10
    domain fidonet /fido/mailer/out 10
    domain fsxnet /fido/mailer/out 10

    Later on, my address for FSX (for example), is a 21:2/116, and binkd will know to put this in /fido/mailer/out.015 because it knows that /fido/mailer/out is for zone 10 and thus mail for any other zone needs the zone address with a hex suffix.

    When you use husky to toss the mail, you configure the outbound with:

    Outbound /fido/mailer/out

    *AND* I have my zone 10 address listed *FIRST* (important) - and my other nets listed after (in any order), and husky knows when tossing mail, mail for zone 21 goes in /fido/mailer/out.015 because /fido/mailer/out is the outbound path *AND* the first address is a zone 10 address.

    Hopefully this makes sense?

    domain fidonet /fido/mailer/out 10
    domain fsxnet /fido/mailer/out 10

    I did what you suggested it still didnt work, and just about 5 minutes ago when noticing there was a "unsecure session" being reported by my point side I figured out what the problem was and had a major "DUH" moment... on the bbs side binkd.cfg I never made a node statement for my point... Crap.. all works perfectly now thank you so much for your assistance...
