I am trying to send to nodes in several different fidonet zones.
How do I configure this line:
domain fidonet Q:\\fido_out\\out 1
I have mail waiting to send to Zone 3 and 4, but it never scans those outbound directories. (binkley style as in out, out.002, out.003,
etc.)

Direct or routed?
If routed then they would go via your uplink and be in your out
dir.

That is the correct syntex. Are you also a member of any othernets?

Has your mail tosser created packets in those dirs?
Direct. It is to a Point system in 3:633
You can't (or shouldn't) be able to poll a point, unless you went out
of your way to setup a direct connection with it. However, that would defeat the purpose of that system being a point.

Why not? Two of my points have mailers online, that can be connected directly. Their connection info is published in the Z2 point list...

Seems like they wouldn't really be classified as points (except for the fact
that they have a point in their node number), then, if they have mailers online and are able to be connected to by the general population? Maybe we should look up the definition of "point" again?
In regards to routing netmail, it /should/ be done via the boss node *by default*. If one wants to setup a direct route to a point (or anyone, for that
matter), that is up to those two systems. Honestly, I shouldn't even have to
explain this, as you know these answers already. Seems as though you just wanted to stir the pot. Instead of replying to me with contradictions, why not
try to help the original poster, instead?
Nothing here has been stated that communication between the two systems has
been set up directly. All that was stated was that he was trying to send mail
to a point directly (only with mention of his domain line in binkd.conf - no
mention whatsoever of his routing configuration) So, I was referring to the
defaults.. and also stated "unless you went out of your way to setup a direct
connection". I think I covered what I needed to, unless you have more to add?
Hi Nicholas,

I'm not trying to stir the pot. I'm just trying to point out that sometimes someone with a mailer publicly online 24/7, doesn't need, or want, or can't have a full blown node number, a point number will suffice, and is much easier to obtain...
That's it. And of course these are exceptions to the normal, although still valid use cases. And if a sender doesn't have the connection info for such a point, although publicly available, he has no choice and has to route as you say...

That wasn't the fix we were looking for. Maybe this test is a bit better. :P

Yes, it is there and it works now. I can use the '-' key in GoldED to go back through the thread now. :-)

Yes, DixieNet. binkd has no problem with those directories.

Point taken. However, what I originally said briefly covered this, but I didn't want to go too far into it, especially if it had nothing to do with what he was trying to do.
That's it. And of course these are exceptions to the normal, although
still valid use cases. And if a sender doesn't have the connection

Yeah. I wasn't talking about exceptions, though. I was trying to help someone
fix their issue with normal operations. No need to go into extravagant, very
minor use-case, abnormal circumstances (unless the original poster would have
brought something like that up) that could possibly confuse the original poster even more. Do you agree?
Sure, you don't want to confuse your audience. But you were saying you can only contact points through their boss as a fact without exceptions. And that simply isn't always true. That's why I felt I had to write something.
