   Hi Matt,   
      
   Welcome, btw :)

   You can use binkley-outbounds with a different tosser, but hope you don't mind   
   if I ask why the need?  You can use BBBS's binkp, and the netmail attache's go   
   right out using binkp technology.  You can't specify a different zone, IIRC   
   (everything is @fidonet, I believe) but the docs would talk more about that,   
   as well as more about using a different tosser instead of BOGUS.

   BBBS BOGUS B             Forward bad mail and write them to BBBS   
   BBBS BOGUS R             Read messages from BBBS and forward them

   Type "bbbs" to see commands that are available (without the quotes).

   Hi Robert .. Actually bbbs is arcmail attach mailer, more like FD.   
   (somewhat )

   The command (depending your OS) would be ./bag sysop.gui (linux) or bag   
   sysop.gui (windows type envriron).   
      
   Or look for a file named sysop.txt in your BBBS directory. That is an ascii   
   version of the sysop.gui file.   
      
   BBBS has an internal command you can use for *.msg messages, as well:   
      
   "The BMSG command can be used to interface BBBS with an external mail tosser.   
   BMSG converts the messages in BBBS messagebase into FTS-0001 format and   
   vice-versa.   
      
   BBBS BMSG R             Read messages from BBBS   
   BBBS BMSG F [filename]  Read messages from BBBS, use areatoss file BBBS BMSG   
   W             Write messages to BBBS   
   "   
      
   Try using bag sysop.gui.. you can do great searches in the docs by typing s   
    when sysop.gui comes up... like:   
      
   s external.bbb   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
