Hello all,

Not sure if this is enough information to get some direction on my Fido setup issue i am having. This is what I see when I try to send areafix netmail.

I can't seem to find what I have configured wrong. Thanks in advance for any direction. Xofraq

That hostname seems to resolve for me:
$ host f59.n3634.z1.binkp.net
f59.n3634.z1.binkp.net is an alias for microbur.synchro.net. microbur.synchro.net has address 108.233.175.10

But... it's resolving to *your* BBS? You're trying to send an areafix netmail to yourself?

the only thing I can think of is that the binkp.net domain is causing you troubles.

There have been issues lately with the binkp.net resolving fidonet-style addresses to an IP address.

You can avoid that by defining the location of a nodelist file on your
BBS machine, in the [domain] section for Fidonet, in your sbbsecho.ini
file.

It's documented here: https://wiki.synchro.net/config:sbbsecho.ini#domain_sections

That way, the calling system can just use the normal domain name for the
called system as defined by the "INA:" part of the nodelist entry.

I think he mentioned a little while back that he was trying to set up a
point off of his main system.

You can avoid that by defining the location of a nodelist file on your
BBS machine, in the [domain] section for Fidonet, in your sbbsecho.ini
file.

I did update to point to the nodelist file. I am not getting the error any more, but I never get a response.

Well, the answer to that probably lies in your log(s). On my system,
which may not be configured the same as yours, it's in 'sbbs.log'. It
is VERY likely to be a password mismatch between you and your FidoNet
hub. Check the log and see what it says when you try to send the
Areafix netmail. If it is indeed a password issue you'll have to work
that out with your uplink (hub).

The binkit log info you posted didn't show any mail coming into, or
leaving, your system.

Now that you have binkit sorted you may need to send the message(s) again.

I have been working with my uplink, and still having the issues. My passwords are correct but seems that my NetMail is not being packed and is being sent out as .out files?

I have been over my setup 100 times, hope to figure it out soon. I need to step away from it for a few hours (days), lol.
