Hello Marc!

DNS lookup via the default domain, which should be set to binkp.net.

Yes.

You should configure your tosser to set the appropriate flavor for each node.

Use a - as a placeholder indicating the node has no hostname or IP address.

ML> Is this correct? On that same 2 lines you can see what I was asking

The semicolon character shouldn't be there unless a node has more than 1
hostname. BinkD is probably interpreting the password as a second hostname for
that node, and using the flavor as a password.
ML> My configuration reads:

ML> Not sure that that "1" is for. (?)
The 1 indicates the zone for files in your default outbound. With this
configuration, files for Zone 2 would be in Q:\fido_out.002.
ML> The tree of that directory looks like this:

ML> +--OUT.002
ML> +--OUT.003
ML> +--OUT.004
ML> +--OUT.005
ML> +--OUT.006
With it setup like this, you need the following:
domain fidonet Q:\\Fido_Out\\Out 1
BinkD should see the Out.<zone> directories for the other FidoNet zones, as
well as the 018C002D.PNT subdirectory for your points off of 1:396/45.
