    From Joacim Melin@2:201/120 to All on Sunday, September 17, 2017 17:45:39
    Due to the fact that I run my BBS on a Amiga 1200, I have to use a tosser that works with that BBS. That tosser is Crashmail II. I am a member of FidoNet and
    AmigaNet, and sending and recieving netmail and echomail from Fidonet works fine. When I try to send netmail via AmigaNet, the outgoign packets are never sent properly. They are there, in the outbound folder, but Binkd refuses to touch them.

    Is there anyone who knows how to configure Crashmail II to make this work properly?

    Thanks,

    Joacim

    I don't know about Crashmail, but is it possible to use fileboxes?

    If you put outbound netmail .pkt's into a filebox directory, binkd will send them, no matter if you use bso or aso.

    Possibly the stupid question of the week: what's a filebox?

    Define a directory for a node, put *any* files into it, and binkd will send those files to the node.

    Take a look at binkd docs and examples. :)

    Like this:

    node 2:221/999 * password i /filebox/to999 /filebox/from999

    Interesting. Gotta check that one out. The only problem is my BBS software can
    only handle one message area for netmail. It assumes the tosser and mailer will
    take care of the routing.

    Yes, you need a netmail packer to do the routing (pack .msg's to .pkt). I'm using CFRoute in my OS/2 system.
