Any netmail sent to AmigaNet is picked up by Crashmail:
1 message exported
Scanning for orphan files
Scanning for old packets
Scanning for new files to pack
Sending unpacked netmail to 39:150/200.0 (Normal)
Updating hwm for area NETMAIL, old = 17, new = 18
CrashMail end
But it is never sent by Binkd.

assuming that crashmail does netmail in the traditional BSO way using
?UT files, where did crashmail put the ?UT file? which of your BSO outbound directories and what name did it use??

Here's the thing: Crashmail can only use one (1) directory for it's outbound mail. Which is fine.

you keep saying that but... are you saying that it uses a standard
BSO format for its outbound directory structure?
if it does use a standard BSO directory structure, your amiganet mail would be in a directory with an extension...
eg: if you define "/mailer/outbound" as your outbound directory and assuming Z2 is your main FTN zone, the directory structure would look something like this...
/mailer/outbound/ <- mail for Z2 goes here
/mailer/outbound.001/ <- mail for Z1 goes here
/mailer/outbound.003/ <- mail for Z3 goes here
/mailer/outbound.004/ <- mail for Z4 goes here
/mailer/outbound.027/ <- mail for Z39 goes here
the numbers are the zone in hex (base16) format... everything for
your Z39 traffic would go in the above last directory... this is also assuming that crashmail only does FTN 3D or 4D addressing...

Crashmail on the Amiga could handle several NETMAIL areas without any problems. Crashmail II on Linux can not as far as I've been able to
test it.
Then there's the issue with my BBS software being designed for using
one directory for all netmail to all networks.
Oh well, it's a hobby 'innit?
Just out of curiosity, how active is AmigaNet?

Well, at least there are some regular, automated postings like those
from ID BBS or from my system announcing new files from Aminet in the rather new file announcement echoarea.
But of course it could be more traffic. But this also accounts to
this echo. I think both do have their value and I wouldn't abandon
one for the other.
PS: if someone is interesting in getting new files from Aminet, don't hesitate to contact me about a filearea link!

AmigaNet is nice to have. To keep it alive, but as far as I'm
concerned this is where the Amiga action is, at least right now. It's
the same with loads of other networks, I tried many of them. FSXNet is
a pretty high-traffic network with loads of chatter which is nice.
