How does file skipping work in Binkd? I'm on a bad/slow mobile connection at the moment and only want to receive mails, no nodelist updates. So I put

skip all !0 DAILYUTF.*

in binkd.cfg, but the file doesn't seem to get deleted on the other side:

- 11:28 [1138] VER binkd/1.1a-111/Linux binkp/1.1
- 11:29 [1138] TRF 0 55671
+ 11:29 [1138] Remote has 0b of mail and 55671b of files for us
? 11:29 [1138] skipping DAILYUTF.Z02 (destructive, 55671 byte(s), mask DAILYUTF.*)

next poll it's still the same...

- 11:31 [1146] VER binkd/1.1a-111/Linux binkp/1.1
- 11:31 [1146] TRF 0 55671
+ 11:31 [1146] Remote has 0b of mail and 55671b of files for us
? 11:31 [1146] skipping DAILYUTF.Z02 (destructive, 55671 byte(s), mask DAILYUTF.*)

until some mail is exchanged:

- 11:37 [1159] TRF 0 55671
+ 11:37 [1159] Remote has 0b of mail and 55671b of files for us
+ 11:37 [1159] sending /ftn/packets/f04ce901.pkt as f04ce901.pkt (1064)
  11:37 [1159] bzip2 mode is on for f04ce901.pkt
? 11:37 [1159] skipping DAILYUTF.Z02 (destructive, 55671 byte(s), mask DAILYUTF.*)
  11:37 [1159] Compressed 1064 bytes to 770 for f04ce901.pkt, ratio 72.4%

next poll:

- 11:37 [1172] TRF 0 0
+ 11:37 [1172] Remote has 0b of mail and 0b of files for us


Is this a bug?
