Subj : hpt + binkd direct messages to different zone To : Kai Richter From : Javier Sturman Date : Fri Sep 26 2025 04:36 pm Hello Kai! 24 Sep 25 01:59, you wrote to me: JS>> domain fidonet /var/spool/ftn/outb 4 fidonet JS>> domain fsxnet /var/spool/ftn/outb 4 fsxnet KR> The path for both domains is the same.

The only way I see the files for fsxnet (21:*) is that the outbound directory has 21 in it. fido:/var/spool/ftn$ ls -al total 31 drwxrwx--- 14 fido fido 14 Sep 26 14:59 . drwxr-xr-x 10 root wheel 10 May 18 19:50 .. drwxrwx--- 2 fido fido 34 Sep 19 15:44 dupebase drwxrwx--- 5 fido fido 5 Sep 15 12:50 filebase drwxrwx--- 2 fido fido 2 May 18 19:50 fileboxes drwxrwx--- 2 fido fido 2 May 18 19:10 flags drwxrwx--- 3 fido fido 5 Sep 26 15:25 inb drwxrwx--- 2 fido fido 2 Sep 26 15:25 inbound-temp drwxrwx--- 5 fido fido 5 Jun 8 22:08 msgbase drwxrwx--- 3 fido fido 3 Sep 26 15:25 outb drwxr-xr-x 3 fido fido 3 Sep 26 07:35 outb.002 drwxrwx--- 3 fido fido 5 Sep 26 16:36 outb.015 drwxrwx--- 4 fido fido 4 Sep 16 11:47 tmp drwxrwx--- 2 fido fido 2 May 18 19:50 transit fido:/var/spool/ftn$ ls -ald outb.015/* -rw-r--r-- 1 fido fido 0 Sep 26 15:00 outb.015/00030064.dlo drwxrwx--- 2 fido fido 2 Sep 19 18:36 outb.015/00030064.sep -rw-r--r-- 1 fido fido 23 Sep 26 16:36 outb.015/00030064.try fido:/var/spool/ftn$ cat outb.015/00030064.try Cannot getaddrinfofid It seems that binkd doesn't seem to resolv 21:3/100 however if I do a ns lookup it resolves. fido:/var/spool/ftn$ drill f100.n3.z21.fsxnet.nz ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, rcode: NOERROR, id: 13460 ;; flags: qr rd ra ; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 3, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;; f100.n3.z21.fsxnet.nz.
