Subj : Screwy Things

Figured I would "explain" my screwy things post in test. 

My mailer/tosser setup is a mess of programs, but it usually works fine
and I don't have many issues with it. 

Internet Rex/2 is my mailer that answers the port probes coming from
the outside world and sends out stuff as needed. 

I also run a single instance of T-Mail/2 which is mainly used to handle
all the semaphores, tossing and maintenance that needs to be done. 

Allfix/2 and FastEcho/2 handle the actual tossing. 

Problem is, occasionally T-Mail/2 would see outbound stuff for nodes
and list them in the outbound queue, but IRex/2 was not seeing them at
all. If I manually polled the node with Irex/2 the files would get
sent. 

I did narrow down that the outbound stuff was being generated by
Allfix/2. In the Allfix config, I had "mailer" setup to T-Mail. And I
also had Irex in T-Mail mode. But something just didn't sync up right.
I have since switched both Allfix and Irex to Binkp mailers and I am
watching to see how that works out. 

So, hoping this irons out those wrinkles in my system.
