I was asking a couple of weeks back about the binkd outboxes. I got the impression that you might be running both binkd and binkit on the same box in order to use the binkd outbox feature to move files.
No, I just run binkit. I have thought of that and I think that is doable but >the very few times I could use an outbox I just write the path and filename to >the flofile (.flo/.clo/.hlo/.dlo) in the outbound. In my case to send a file to

Ah, ok, I misunderstood. You know, I was thinking that would be manual
work but I bet I could write a script to check for the presence of a file and, if found, create/append the flofile with the info I want appended.

Thanks, I had seen that before. Is that the name of the flo file, or the name of the "packet" files (i.e. name.TH0, name.FR0, etc.)? I was not sure.

That part is a bit tricky in a script. You'll want to be sure to append
to an existing flofile and not overwrite it.. :)
Easy using the >> output redirection in shells like BASH. That creates the file if it doesn't exist, and appends otherwise. I think it works in DOS/Windows too.

Or to delete the file once it is sent..

So far that has been enough for me but I am still hoping we will get filebox support in binkit at some point.

Yes, DOS/Windows uses that too. You can also do 2>&1 to also redirect standard error to the file as well (otherwise, you'll have standard
output going to the file and error messages going to the screen). Specifically, 2>&1 redirects standard error to the same place where
you're redirecting standard output.
Hi Digital Man
(me)
I sent message to support per my Refector troubles
try to explain want I was tring to do per 1stchoicecore.co.nz
and bbs mail got same thing back I don't understand but you might ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (support)
mail Reflector is not an OUTBOUND service, and only directs inbound emails based on the MX records being setup properly for us to receive it, and then the reflector service setup with a hostname (or IP address) to forward the email to, using any port number. ------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- (me)
I am unsure if from my eundora (private Account) to sneaky@1stchoicecore.co.nz is outbound or inbound I would od thought it would be inboundbut I could be wrong. -------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- (support)
The hostname "mail.1stchoicecore.co.nz " is currently setup within the reflector service as the "server" to send email to. This hostnames needs to be created and resolve to your public IP address to receive emails ----------------------------------------------------------------
(me)
maybe you might understand this as i don't
maybe I have the wrong service maybe it mail forwarding I am After or not.
Thank you

Sneaky, 1stchoicecore.co.nz is your BBS right? I connected to it via HTTP(web). Change your configuration on in the mail reflector to send
mail to just 1stchoicecore.co.nz instead of mail.1stchoicecore.co.nz.
That should fix it.

That totally depends on who is hatching the file. I use htick to hatch files and in my config I use the option '-replace' which, when your processor process the tic, it will delete the old file and replace it
with the new one.
just a question no-ip.com support suggested I went to "pop3 imap
email" service would that direct mail to my bbs or not.

i thought LT was talking about getting fileboxes... i know they can
make things much easier for sending some of those interBBS door game packets... many of those assume frontdoor style fileattach mail and BSO doesn't do that without some assistance... in any case, tic options
when hatching don't have anything to do with BSO fileboxes, AFAIK...

no! those are end user choices... not server-to-server...
whomever offered those options apparently didn't understand your problem,
either...

Yeah that would be a little tricky - some decimal to hex conversion
there. :)

the real tricky part is the checking for and creating if needed of the
BSO directories that's the tough part... especially if you're doing 4D
or 5D which makes a big difference... then destination points'
directories have to be managed under their boss' out.zzz/xxxxyyyy directory as pppppppp.pnt... it can be real fun to code... i've only
done 5D style because nothing i have requires 4D where i have this code
in place...

you don't need to apologize to me... i will take another beverage,

Should be fairly straightforward in Linux, though I haven't tried. No idea in $DOS/4OS2, because I haven't used those for 15+ year. I used
to love 4DOS back in the day. I do all sorts of clever path
manipulation in BASH. :)

Hmm, I'm not sure. I know I was going to write one, but never got
around to it. Or it was one of those things that got lost.

I would be interested, as I never got round to writing my FREQ script. :)

No need. That wheel has already been invented by Markus Reschke, as a part of his MFreq package for binkD. There's also a matching
'sendfile' script.
Just FREQ "MFREQ" from my main system (#384). They may need
fine-tuning for your system, too.

Oops. I always assume people have these functions in their mailer(s).
(I can do FREQs and file sending with a few mouse clicks in my Radius doover.) AAMOF I FREQ-ed a possible new release of MFREQ from Markus' joint, which was forwarded to yours inside of a minute.
Anyhow... check your insecure inbound. Enjoy. 8-)

If I could do that, I wouldn't be looking for a simple way to do it! :D

Ahmm... I was the victim of a relativistic gravity well this AM. After checking the logs, I found it took me 2 minutes four seconds. At the
time it went whee!-whoosh! and was done. :)
If I could do that, I wouldn't be looking for a simple way to do it! :D
The only downside with Radius is that to do an automated FREQ via its
cron would be possible but a mind-bending exercise. OTOH, using
Markus' tool for such a job on my Linux box via binkD would be a *snap* (and which is essentially extra bling in his package). That's a
priority #99 job for my todo list now. ;)
