TL>>> domain fidonet     d:\fe\outbound 1
TL>>> domain wwivftn     d:\fe\outbound 1
TL>>> domain scinet      d:\fe\outbound 1

ml>> yes but then you cannot be in two FTNs that used the same zone and
ml>> there are several of those out there...

TL> Well that's the problem 5D is supposed to solve, but not all
TL> implementations can do that yet.  For example, SBBSecho uses a
TL> domain to zone mapping that appears to be 1-1, which I'm not sure

exactly... unless you use the format i linked to earlier (link quoted below)...

ml>>>> if your tosser uses the other form of 5D BSO, then the paths can be
ml>>>> like you have them but the zones all have to be 1 so the directories
ml>>>> get the hex extension added to them...

TL>>> This is for BSO format that both SBBSecho and Mystic (mutil) use.

ml>> if i'm reading this correctly, then yes... see here for the (almost) current domain setup my binkd is using to work with sbbsecho...

ml>>   https://paste.linux-help.org/view/07b043b2

TL> Yep that's what I'm talking about. :)

yes, it is part of my work on trying to see what is necessary for sbbsecho to be fully 5D complient... there are some problems due to some 4D assumptions but they are easily worked around... i just need to find more time to dig deeper into the code and see what fixes are needed...

ml>> i need to move it to a git repo, though... then i can more easily
ml>> work with updates to it but there's only been one update, a dns
ml>> lookup entry for one net, since i put it up...

TL> So all of those nets are active?

i don't know... the list is gleaned from my mailers' logs by scanning for the FTN addresses and domains presented by other mailers when we connect... that data is then run through a series of linux tools to trim it down and create a raw list... that raw list is then manually tweaked into the final result currently being used by my binkd... that raw list is also used to create the proper 5D domain directories in my base BSO directory... i've also added the gathered domains and zones to my tosser's configuration using its defined ini format so BinkIt.js should also be using them when i use BinkIt.js as my mailer...
