      so, how does one system tell IREX on another system that they already have the       file and IREX doesn't need to keep sending it over and over and over and over       ad nausem???              i've a downlink who's IREX is continually sending me zero byte files that       appear to be echomail bundles (by their names) and the dang thing won't quit       sending even after my binkd tells IREX, for the thousandth time, that we       already have the file in question...              this system has also sent CUT and CLO files which are, IIRC, binkley style       mail control files... is this system possibly misconfigured and putting all       the files into the wrong directory and they're getting sent to me??              )\/(ark               * Origin: (1:3634/12)    |
