Hello Joacim!
I cannot help you, although I do have a point system runn ing Binkd and
Crashmail. I is far simpler in setup as it has only one address.
I do have a few questions, that may lead you in the proper direction.
As Binkd is a BSO system, it expects separate outboud directories for each
zone. With the higher zone numbers some systems expect the suffix of the
outbound to be in octal notation, other expect hex notation.
Have you looked at your logfiles, there may be some clues about missing
directories.
Your RC Bjorn Felten claims to be a longtime user of Crashmail, his
experience may include the use of AKA's in several domains.
Crashmail was developed by a Swedish sysop, some may know how to contact him.
Johan Billing is no longer in Fidonet. Others who have worked on Crashmail
are RJ Clay and Lars Lars Kellog-Stedman.
Have you considered using different PREFS files for the different domains you
whish to cover?
