I've been running irex (2.29) for a couple years now and find no better mailer
program to run. You will find however that running irex as a file attachment
mailer does work, but I find using a filebox method like argus did as a much
simpler solution because anything that is put in his filebox will be shipped to
him. I run all of my ibbs game maintenance in irex's between.bat and use it to
move the game packet's from the games outbound directories into the appropriate
nodes filebox. Then boom when my mailer calls out all the files are sent with
no problem.
