I got my binkd to copy anything that it receives before it gets tossed. In the binkd config i added:

===
# Run an external program.
# The "!" before program pathname means immediate program execution
#   after receiving the file.
# ***
# Macros: *F - complete name of received file,
#         *H - remote hostname or IP,
#
exec "/path/to/archiver.sh *F *H" *
===

and the archiver.sh script is
===
#!/bin/bash

Y=`date '+%Y'`
W=`date '+%V'`
B=`basename $1`
L=/path/to/archive/$Y/$W
mkdir -p $L
cp -vf $1 $L/$2_$B
===

This gives me an archive folder per year and in there per week of the incoming packets prefixed with the hostname where they came from.

enjoy,
Floris
