Hi All... Trying to use binkD with CNet BBS. I can receive no problem at all and my software tossing the incoming pkts.. My problem is I can't send any pkts.. The pkts are in the outbound directory but when I enter binkd -p -P [node id] binkd.cfg it doesn't send anything.. I do have the ASO option
chosen in the config file.. Anyone ever come across this??

It could be a number of things. Errors in you config file for instance. Or if they are named *.pkt, and there is no flow reference file, try renaming them to
*.out and see what happens...

Bye, Wilfred.

Have you activated ASO in the binkd config?

do you have "send-if-pwd" enabled in the binkd.cfg file?
is the connections between you and the remote password protected?
if not, disable "send-if-pwd" by putting a "#" in front of it...

barring that, please show us a log snippet of an attempt to connect and deliver
outbound mail...

Yeah, it's weird but thankfully I found the solution thanks to Niklas Lindholm who started digging into the problem.

I use Crashmail II as tosser running in Linux and my Amiga-based BBS system then access the fidonet stuff via NFS over my LAN at home. The problem is how the Amiga handles 16 bit values in Fidonet .msg files:

"Fixing a problem with how NiKom reads and writes 16 bit values in FidoNet .msg
files. Until now it has been handling them in big endian format, which
seems to have been compatible with Amiga tossers. The FTS standard mandates however that values should be handled in little endian format, which e.g. CrashMail under x86 Linux does."

NiKom is Niklas BBS-software and I take no credit in solving this. Essentially,
the Fidonet utility for NiKom would happily export the mail from the BBS over NFS to my Linux machine and BinkD but the mail was never sent. After Niklas figured this out, it works like a charm.

You can read about this here, look at NiKom v2.1.2:
