I am having trouble connecting to people with netmail. I am using the send Netmail (Fido/Qwk/Internet) option in SBBS. For example, I send a netmail to dale.barnes@1:106/0 (for fidonet application)

My log shows this:
Node 1 <Grease> sent NetMail to dale.barnes (1:106/0)
BBS Events Semaphore signaled for Timed Event: FIDOOUT
FIDOOUT Running native timed event: '/home/sbbs/sbbs/exec/sbbsecho -ni'
FIDOOUT Timed Event: '/home/sbbs/sbbs/exec/sbbsecho -ni' returned 0

I do not show where I have sent and connected to him. So I run Binkpoll.
I get this:

BINKPOLL Running native timed event: '?binkit -p'
BINKPOLL BinkIT/2.41 invoked with options: -p

It says bad password, because I set up 1:106/9999 in sbbsecho.ini with my password. Naturally, I can't handshake. But I thought Netmail is a direct, no password needed.

I run BINKout and get this:

I also don't know where 99:1/1@hobbynet is. It is not in my sbbsecho.ini
I do not know where f1.n1.z99.example.com:24554 failed is neither is in my sbbsecho.ini.

Sorry so long. Any help is appreciated.

I am having trouble connecting to people with netmail. I am using the send Netmail (Fido/Qwk/Internet) option in SBBS. For example, I send a netmail to dale.barnes@1:106/0 (for fidonet application)

BINKPOLL BinkP got fatal error 'Bad password' from remote:

It says bad password, because I set up 1:106/9999 in sbbsecho.ini with my password.

1:106/9999 is *your* temporary FTN address. You set up a password for that in sbbsecho.ini? How?

Or do you mean you set up a password for 1:106/0 (or one of his AKAs)?

Naturally, I can't handshake. But I thought Netmail is a direct,
no password needed.

No password is needed, but since you've configured one somewhere, BinkIt is using it and it doesn't match what the node you're connecting to is expecting. Are you already connecting to this node for one of the *other* FTNs they have?

I also don't know where 99:1/1@hobbynet is. It is not in my sbbsecho.ini
I do not know where f1.n1.z99.example.com:24554 failed is neither is in my sbbsecho.ini.

Apparently you sent mail or files to 99:1/1 and you don't have that link configured in sbbsecho.ini, so it doesn't know what host or IP address to connect to to deliver it. Check your FTN outbound directories.

Correct. I set up a password for 1:106/0. I guess I am getting ahead of my- self. I was trying to have it all pre-configured when he gave me my node.

I thought one wans't needed. No, I am not connecting to him for anything
else. Just trying to get a fido node number and get a feed.

I also don't know where 99:1/1@hobbynet is. It is not in my sbbsecho.ini

directories. --

I do have three or four. For example outbound.3e7 or outbound.015. Some are empty, some have .tic and a .flo file in it and another has a outbound.001
file in it. I think that is the culprit. Should I just delete these?

Yeah, that seems to be the problem.

You can. outbound.015 is for Zone 21 and outbound.3e7 is for Zone 999.
