Subj : BinkD trying to call a point?

  Hello everybody!

Strange things happening over here. I'm newly rejoined to Fido after 20 years absence, so it's pretty sure the error is on my side. What would cause my system to try sending netmail directly to a point?

I have one "Node" definition in my binkd.cfg for my uplink and "defnode":
******
node 2:301/1 * SuperSecretSessionPassword!
defnode *
******

If I leave the "defnode" out, my system doesn't dial out at all.

Also, enabling or disabling "root-domain binkp.net" doesn't change anything from what I can see.

But my understanding of Fido is that netmails to a point should go to that point's uplink/node (in this case to 2:341/66)?


Regards
Fermin
