Other forms of binkd mailers alow files to be sent by creating a directory, linking it to a node address and it'll send out what is in that directory t that node....
FD calls it a static queue... mail tossers, a few of them anyway, can toss files directly to a DIR to send files out... I guess this would have been g during the FTP/Mail days. I think BinkD does it and I know Internet rex do
I think I understand.
BinkD does use the concept of "mailboxes", but, I have tried very hard to integrate this into the mailer in a way to avoid confusion for everyone. The reason is because the D'Bridge queue is Dynamic. That means, it does not use directories but a combination of text-based Queue files, packets and
compressed mail (XMAIL). The directories/mailboxes in BinkD are unique and in Base36 format. I do not recommend dropping files into those directories.
You can send files to another systme using the DBUTIL [priority] SEND command. For example, DBUTIL NORMAL SEND 1:229/426 C:\FOR-NICK.ZIP would send that file to my system. When the mailer runs, it builds a dynamic entry for 229/426 and when the transaction is made, the file is moved to the appropriate Binkd directory (or send via dialup). The end-user need not worry about what directories are what.
