your HPT logs look fine and proper... at least as far as the pkts being created
and placed into bundles in the proper outbound directories for the zones they
are destined for...



on your binkd logs, though, you left out some necessary portions... i say this
because you have three sessions going on at once but we only have partial
entries for them...



+ 24 Jul 03:33:53 [28477] outgoing session with bbs.pharcyde.org:24554
[24.209.142.55]

this is one session [28477] but you don't have the complete session posted...
you have to grep them out by the PID in brackets...

grep "\[28477\]" ~/where/is/your/binkd.log

this is another session [28478] but again, we're missing the rest of it...

 24 Jul 03:33:53 [28479] done (to 1:154/10@fidonet, OK, S/R: 0/0 (0/0 bytes))

grep "\[28479\]" ~/where/is/your/binkd.log

this is the third session [28479]... the last line says it was with 1:154/10
but the first session [28477] was already connected with that same system... i
suspect that [28477] already delivered the mail that [28479] thought it was
going to deliver... since [28477] already delivered it and unlinked it, it
doesn't exist any more for [28479] to deliver so it properly reports that they
do not exist...


now, here's something else, those two bundles were named the same but they were
in different outbound directories... what happened on the other side? did one
of them overwrite the other or did the second one have its extension
incremented by one so that there were 94377100.su0 and 94377100.su1 on the
other end? nick's logs should show what was done on his system for that
connection session...


and finally, if you want to be able to see your binkd sessions clearer and
easier without being all mixed up and intermingled with each other, then in
your binkd.conf file, set your maxservers and maxclients to 1 so you'll have
only one session taking place at a time... if they exist in your conf, change
them otherwise default values are being used so add them as shown...


maxservers 1
maxclients 1


you can change them later on once you are sure your mail is moving as
desired...
