   Amibinkd is a disaster.  There was a later version that someone who shall not   
   be named more or less made his own and tried to charge money for. It was a bit   
   more stable but would still leak memory and crash the system after a few days.   
   Running Binkd and Crashmail II on a virtual Linux box and then share the   
   folders for it via NFS to the Amiga over the network works fine.  Also, thanks   
   to Niklas Lindholm (www.nikom.org) Crashmail II is now compatible with   
   messages produced on the Amiga.
