Hello Andre,

 AG> Which of the different versions of BinkD for Windows are you using?

None. I am not using BinkD at all. My Binkp mailer is Irex. It has been doing fine for well over a decade. Unfortunately it is abandonware for all intents end purposes, the chance of it ever be upgraded to IPv6 seems to be zero.

So if I want to go along with the unavoidable, I will have to switch mailers. Binkd looks like a good candidate.

It will mean switching from a dynamic AMA mailer to a binkly style setup. Frankly, I am not all that eager to take the plunge, but what must be, must be.

There is no hurry. Iron out the bugs for the Linux version first, I'd say. We can worry about porting to Windows later...


Cheers, Michiel
