Hi Mike,

 ML> Binkley3:
 ML>     29 Mar 05:00:49.87 BINK Inbound Mail Packet
 ML>   : 29 Mar 05:02:31.92 BINK Ignoring #:\Outbound\00000000.BSY._
 ML>      It is 18599 minutes old
 ML>     29 Mar 05:02:31.97 BINK Inbound File Attaches

 ML> Of note the 00000000.BSY flag file was last written:

 ML>   3-29-02   5:02a         0           0  00000000.BSY

Yep, thats a good one alright. I saw something similar to this many years ago 
(without the timestamp issue) and suspected a corrupt modem connection of some 
sort, but it persisted for 8 calls and I eventually tracked it down to an 
FTS-001 call coming in and trying to establish. It was not a ZEDZAP/WAZOO/EMSI 
type session at all. 

In my case Bink created a 00000000.BSY file, so this suggests to me that you 
have some sort of unidentified caller (possibly attempting an FTS-001 type 
session) and this is what usually results in such situations. In my case it was 
one of my regular callers who was trying a new Mailer and had misconfigured 
something. Does the log show any other call details like this? What exact 
version Bink are you using, DOS 2.60 or something? I take it the Mail packet 
itself was not compressed (IE it was a raw *.PKT file)?

I hope this helps..........pk.
