Hi Conny,

On 2022-02-03 16:13:02, you wrote to me:

As Oli suggested. Look at/experiment with these settings:

From TrapToss.Man:

 4.12. Outbound Handling

       To facilitate cooperation with a vast number of mailers,
     TrapToss supports a number of different outbound directory
     formats. You can choose between 2D and 4D handling of Netmail
     bundles, of EchoMail (arcmail) bundles, and of Flow files. The
     keywords (NO)FORCE4DMO, (NO)OLDSTYLEMO, (NO)OLDSTYLEFLO and
     (NO)OUT4D control this. Their defaults are set for perfect usage
     with the TrapDoor mailer.

And don't have binkd active when you run traptoss, so you can see what traptoss creates, before binkd gets its hands on them...

  CE>>> Nothing is sent or recived.

 WvV>> Receiving should be automatic, as long as your binkd identifies

 CE> Yes it does, since I got the 113 binary for binkd, connecting is no

Then there probably is no mail waiting for you. ;-)

Bye, Wilfred.
