    Hi Guys!
    I had finish installing BinkP which for Debian 8 is just apt-get install binkp :-) Well following the wiki my binkd.cfg is:

    domain fidonet /sbbs/fidonet/outbound 2
    domain fido alias-for fidonet
    domain fidonet.org alias-for fidonet
    address 2:250/4@fidonet

    So apparently I received something but is not in any of Fidonet Areas. What made I wrong?

    You would need SBBSecho to look for incoming bundles in your /sbbs/fidonet/inbsecure directory. Either run echocfg to double-check this configuration or (depending on what version of SBBSecho you're running) edit your ctrl/sbbsecho.cfg or sbbsecho.ini files.

    Other question where I have to put the nodelist and compile it?

    Unless you need to send direct netmail, you don't need a nodelist at all. I haven't used one in 20 years.

    I don't use a nodelist either, but there are nodelist "compilers" for binkd that can create an include file with a list of "node" entries for every binkp reachable node in the nodelist, if you do want to be able to directly reach as many nodes as possible.

    I haven't felt the need for that, routed netmail is very fast these days.

    you received a mail bundle... it contains PKTs inside it... the PKTs contain the packed messages...

    but is not in any of Fidonet Areas.

    how do you know? what does your data/sbbsecho.log say?

    What made I wrong?

    maybe nothing...

    Other question where I have to put the nodelist and compile it?

    AFAIK, nothing in sbbs uses the nodelist... binkd, on the other hand, uses its own format and there's nothing to compile... the binkd nodelist is distributed via the I-BINKD FDN (File Distribution Network) or you can run a perl script and build your own binkd compatible nodelist from the distributed nodelist...

    Thanks Digital Man...always everything have a logical explanation :-)

    Hi Mark, seems fixed the problem not sure if the event works but I gonna be investigate.

    What made I wrong?

    Unfortunately yes the problem was AREAS.BBS instead areas.bbs
