Why are you using fd2ftp?  It's been awhile since I've used IRex but I know at
that time I was using *.MSG/attach and Irex handled it properly.  Change
everything over to that rather than binkley/FLO.  sbbsecho will create the
*.MSG and put the pkt in your outbound folder.  Irex will do the rest.  You're
going to have to create a ROUTE.REX file similar to the following...

route-to 1:261/38 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:*
crash-to 1:261/38
except 2:203/*
route-to 2:203/0 2:203/*
crash-to 2:203/0
crash-to 1:229/300
crash-to 1:266/512 1:266/* 1:13/*
crash-to 1:387/22
crash-to 1:3634/1 1:3634/*
crash-to 1:298/6
crash-to 618:100/1
route-to 316:77/1 316:*
route-to 618:100/1 618:*

Look in the docs for IRex to help you with this. So, everytime a *.MSG is
addressed to 1:261/38, Irex will crash it to that address along with the
attached pkt.

Yes, because you're creating FLO style mail.  IRex maybe set for Frontdoor
style *.MSG/Attach

Try what I said above.  If you're dead set on using binkley/FLO style pkt's,
then switch to binkd as your mailer.
