    On 2017 Mar 09 01:53:00, you wrote to me:   
      
    CL>>> Yes, Binkd is loaded. I can see it call out, but it never sends   
    CL>>> anything. The hub calls me also, and it never picks anything up. I   
    CL>>> get my packets for echo mail, but net mail just stays there as a   
    CL>>> packet, but the actual *.msg in the netmail folder dissapears.   
      
    BM>> Does it remain as a *.MSG?  Binkd is a BSO mailer and needs the .msg   
    BM>> converted to .*ut by your tosser.   
      
    ml>> the PKT is created and the MSG removed according to the last two   
    ml>> sentences above... they don't /have/ to be ?UT files, though... ?UT   
    ml>> files are just PKTs by another name anyway... the key is if the file   
    ml>> is a PKT and there's a ?LO file that points to the PKT and where that   
    ml>> file is addressed to by the BSO file naming method... i think we need   
    ml>> to see what the PKT name is, what the related ?LO file is named and   
    ml>> what its contents are...   
      
    BM> I stand corrected.  Must have read it too quickly. I thought he was   
    BM> having issue with 'netmail'   
      
   it /is/ netmail... that's why it is in a MSG file in his netmail directory...   
   when it is packed up for sending, it is placed in a PKT...   
      
    BM> that's why I mentioned the ?UT.  I agree there must be an issue with   
    BM> it creating a ?LO.   
      
   the above mentioned PKT can be a ?UT file if that's how the system wants to   
   handle it... no ?LO files are needed for ?UT files... the ?UT would be named   
   in the BSO format and placed in the proper outbound directory for the   
   destination zone...   
      
   on the other hand, if the file is a PKT, then a ?LO file is needed to point to   
   it... that ?LO file will be named in the BSO format and placed in the proper   
   outbound directory for the destination zone...   
      
   two ways to skin the same cat :)   
      
    BM> My apologies...   
      
   no need to apologise...
