no it doesn't... i run binkd the exact same way on my OS/2, linux and 
winwhatever boxen...

you don't need to execute your toss script immediately after each file is 
received... think about this for a second... if you receive four PKTs, and you 
use the ! you're telling binkd to fire your toss script four times... why? you 
really don't need to do that... just have binkd fire the toss once after that 
one mail session is complete and let it toss all four PKTs at once... the thing 
about @ is personal preference but i've never used it... i want to see the 
evidence of the tossing being done... that's how i know that things are still 
working properly...
