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              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20130910        * Origin: Dark Sorrow | darksorrow.us (1:154/701)    |
