I need to adjust something I think but I am not sure what.

That is there and does work, as long as I leave "defnode *" commented out in my
 binkd.conf.

I just polled your node twice. The first time I had "defnode *" uncommented in
my binkd.conf. This is what the log says.

That failed so I commented "defnode *" in my binkd.conf and tried again with
the same command line. The log looks like this..

That one looks good. I was hoping to add "defnode *" to my config so binkd
would deliver direct or crash mail to a node not in my binkd.conf directly.

I also wonder about the not being able to find domain for zone 2 line at the
top of the log. I wonder if that is normal.
