   If they're coming to you with the reports, ask them what binkp service they're   
   using. There was just discussion in the MBSE echo of mbcico having to have an   
   option set to force a link into binkp v1.0 mode for Irex connections otherwise   
   there's errors. I think the same kind of stuff happens once in awhile using   
   binkd to connect with Irex systems as well, but noone has pinpointed the real   
   problem there.   
      
   I move quite a bit of mail here, and use binkd. I've noticed that when I use   
   the '-nd' option (no dupe mode) it tends to have iffy results with Irex   
   connections. Instead, I disable that option and use the '-nr' option   
   (non-reliable link) instead. Tends to work a lot better after I do that.   
      
   I know it's not hard evidence, but hopefully that may help you in where to   
   continue on with this. It has been reported and proven that Irex reports the   
   wrong version of the binkp protocol, and other mailers have to adjust for   
   that. While development on Irex has stopped (meaning it will probably never be   
   "fixed", other mailers have taken that into consideration and worked around   
   it, though sometimes specific options have to be set in the other mailer.   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
