  • Outbound directories not being scanned?

    From Joacim Melin@2:221/242 to Javier Sturman on Tuesday, September 23, 2025 21:29:43
    This is the way I did it:

    domain fidonet /fido/outbound 2
    domain fido alias-for fidonet
    domain fidonet.org alias-for fidonet
    domain amiganet /fido/amiganet 2
    domain fsxnet /fido/fsxnet 2
    domain micronet /fido/micronet 2

    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong here, but after checking HPT's docs and sample config files:

    The difference here is that you use Crashmail, where I believe you can specify a separate outbound directory for each network. I'm not sure you can do that with HPT. HPT uses hex extensions to the original outbound directory for different zone numbers from your "default zone". So, for example, in HPT sample config:

    outbound /home/username/fido/outbound

    Sets only one outbound directory. However, when you setup other zones/networks, if your default zone is "2" it will automatically create outbound.001 (for zone 1) outbound.015 (zone 21), outbound.02e (zone 46), etc.

    If there is another way to do this, maybe with the "GROUPS" keyword, I never bothered to look into it, since it works fine this way.

    Binkd understands both of these methods, but the configuration for binkd to find those directories in use is a bit different.

    So, for HPT, it would be:

    domain fidonet /fido/outbound 2
    domain amiganet /fido/outbound 2
    domain fsxnet /fido/outbound 2

    etc..

    Crashmail II on Linux! Works very well.
