   BinkD does use the concept of "mailboxes", but, I have tried very hard to    
   integrate this into the mailer in a way to avoid confusion for everyone. The   
   reason is because the D'Bridge queue is Dynamic.  That means, it does not use   
   directories but a combination of text-based Queue files, packets and   
   compressed mail (XMAIL). The directories/mailboxes in BinkD are unique and in    
   Base36 format. I do not recommend dropping files into those directories.   
      
   You can send files to another systme using the DBUTIL [priority] SEND command.   
   For example, DBUTIL NORMAL SEND 1:229/426 C:\FOR-NICK.ZIP would send that file   
   to my system. When the mailer runs, it builds a dynamic entry for 229/426 and    
   when the transaction is made, the file is moved to the appropriate Binkd    
   directory (or send via dialup). The end-user need not worry about what    
   directories are what.
