Sean,
For some reason, I cant get binkd to find my outgoing mail packets. I have it setup correctly and pointed to the outbound dir for the domain (40). It sends fine through bbbs tcpip but doesnt even find it or try with binkd. It does recieve files from via binkd.
I have the domain as:
domain cybernet /opt/bbbs/fido/outbound 40
This is for Cybernet which my node is: 40:100/2
It does put a .try file in the outbound dir, but doesnt send. didnt see anything in the logfile either.
Any thoughts?
