I ran FD with RA when I first setup years ago. I found it to be an
excellent mailer. It's much like BinkleyTerm or other mailers in
that it will go right ahead and do what you tell it to.. :)

The only reason I moved on to BinkleyTerm was to have a look, and
I stuck with it during my dial-up days. I used Portal Of Power
to, I rather liked that one.

If you ever do need an IP mailer I would use Binkd. It uses the
Binkley style outbound to. You could use both binkleyTerm and
Binkd on the same outbound. You can just add the nodes you want
binkd to send to to it's config and it'll send those and not touch
the other stuff.
