Nick, It sounds like D'Bridge doesn't fully support BSO (binkley-style Outbound). There is no need for your Base36 queue with a BSO mailer such as BinkD. Your tosser/scanner should create and store all files in the appropriate outbound directory. NA> All I can tell is that there are two ways to do this, as per FSP-1034 NA> (I think thats the name). Refer to FTS-5005.001, that is the approved and updated version of the proposal FSP-1034. NA> List it in an appropriate FLO file or make a "?ut" file. Correct. With BSO, ncompressed NetMail is stored in .?ut files. Compressed mail bundles are listed in ..? files and listed in a .?lo file. THIS IS WHAT BINKD EXPECTS TO SEE!

In order to use a ?lo file, your tosser/scanner needs to create a mail bundle with the NetMail packet inside. The packet name should be unique, with an extension of .pkt.

True. A BSO mailer will rename .?ut to .pkt before sending. Note that WaZoo file requests also get renamed. See log snippet below. ----- Binkley.Log begins ----- - 23 Mar 11:08:05 [860] sending c:\BinkD\out\008400ae.out as 514dc57e.pkt (14) - 23 Mar 11:08:05 [860] sending c:\BinkD\out\008400ae.req as 514e0d78.req (8) + 23 Mar 11:08:05 [860] sent: c:\BinkD\out\008400ae.out (14, 14.00 CPS, 1:132/174@fidonet) + 23 Mar 11:08:05 [860] sent: c:\BinkD\out\008400ae.req (8, 8.00 CPS, 1:132/174@fidonet) ----- Binkley.Log ends ----- NA> so uncompressed PKT files would in theory work They will!

Your tosser/scanner needs to create properly named files in the outbound directory for BSO support. No renaming is necessary when using Compressed mail bundles. --- Msged/NT 6.0.1 * Origin: Somewhere in New Hampshire's White Mountains (1:132/174) .
