   Irex and BinkD are two individual programs, one not needing to interface   
   with the other, period. Irex uses its own version of BinkP and needs no   
   integration with any other mailer/frontend.   
      
   Load Irex with your batch file as in:   
      
   rexw.exe -daemon -tray (*)   
      
   * IF you're using it with Windows, you can load it into windows with the   
   -tray command after daemon and you will be able to bring it up with a   
   mouse click on the icon, which you'll find in the tray (where your system   
   clock and other background programs are running).   
      
   You then config Irex to -fetch, -pack or -send mail and it will reside in   
   memory and run on its own, using what you have configed in your EVENTS   
   schedule. When in doubt, there is a help screen just one key away -   
   pressing F1 anytime you're configuring Irex will bring up the manual and   
   section for that line.

   Config an event in Irex to call that batch file to toss mail.   
      
    GJD>  Again Binkd is not currently within the Irex directory is that why   
    GJD> I have to run the batch file manually.   
      
   If Binkd is what you're running to fetch or send mail, then you'll have to   
   toss your mail before and after an online event.   
      
    GJD> I would like to system to run by total 100 % on auto pilot. Thanks   
    GJD> for all replies, - Greg   
      
   Irex set up with the -daemon feature will run 100% on it's own, -sending,   
   -fetching and -packing (netmail) mail when ever it comes to an event to do   
   so.
