FYI, wherever they got "Internet Rex is listed in the compatibility table as a 
confirmed working mailer with no known issues", they were given the wrong 
information.

You can ask just about any mailer developer these days how they've had to work 
around IREX's bad binkp implementation. IIRC, it may have been something to do 
with stating it was binkp 1.1 compliant, when it really isn't. But, I am fairly 
certain it was something in the lines of how the session is ended, as seemed to 
be what was being discussed in whatever it was that I replied to. ;)

Regards,
Nick
