I guess this would have been g       JS> during the FTP/Mail days. I think BinkD does it and I know Internet rex do              I think I understand.              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.              Nick              --- Renegade vY2Ka2        * Origin: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators? (1:229/426)    |
