  • Netmail/binkd problem

    From Wingede@VERT to All on Mon Aug 17 05:30:37 2015
    Hi,
    I've followed the related wiki pages on synchronet. When I send a netmail and runn sbbsecho it oulines that the address is foreign. This is placed in my fido/outb folder as x.msg. Binkd doesn't even pick it up and I thought this was the wrong format even though i've selected binkd as my mailer.

    I've created my uplink node, which is the same place where I am trying to send a test netmail.

    Anyone able to assist - as I have spent a while on this, even building new system and compiling again :(

    Did you add the -F switch to sbbsecho in your fidoout command? Should look like %@sbbsecho%. -LINF Binkd can't handle *.MSG so they must be converted to FLO style which sbbsecho will do the next time it is run. I have a timed event for every 10 minutes to run fidoout so if there's any netmail in the netmail folder it will be converted and moved to the correct outbound folder as a .*ut file.

    Hope this helps...

    Did you set your mailer type to Binkley Style?

    Thanks Bill that did the trick, I should have checked the event cmdlines for reference. Silly me thinking it was just a case of modifying mailer style in echocfg.

    Cheers
