It sounds like they set your node's filebox directory to their Binkley-style 
outbound directory.  That would result in you getting CUT and CLO files from 
their system.  If they have more than one system they send mail too, this 
setup will probably also result in you getting the other node's mail as well.  
You IREX link needs to fix his setup.
