   i have a mail tosser that creates flo files containing "../" at the beginning   
   of the line pointing to the files to be sent... this is fine in most cases   
   because we generally change directory to a proper place before starting the   
   mailer...   
      
   yesterday we had a power outage... when the power was restored and i was bring   
   the system back online i forgot to change to the proper directory before   
   starting binkd... as a result, it could not find the files it was trying to   
   send and emitted messages like this...   
      
   start_file_transfer: ../fido/outbound/5d02ac39.pkt: No such file or directory   
      
   ok, i don't have a problem with that... the problem and the reason for this   
   post is that the flo file is deleted thus leaving behind a file with no   
   indication as to its destination...   
      
      
   my query is if binkd should be deleting the flo file when it cannot file the   
   file(s) to send... i would think that if there is an error like this, binkd   
   would elect to be cautious and not delete the flo file or to at least recreate   
   it as it was like it does in other instances (eg: connection failure)...   
      
      
   i was able to recover and get the several thousand pkts sent but this is not a   
   fun task to deal with...   
      
   yes, i'll also be checking with the mail tosser developer and seeing if we can   
   get the full path in place instead of using the "../blah/blah" format...   
      
   thank you for your time and attention :)
