I doubt that, since Binkley doesn't do anything with packet files except
send and receive them.  Does your uplink use FrontDoor or InterMail?  These
mailers use the session password for the packet password in any NetMail
packets they create.

Then your uplink's mail processor is configured properly.

If your uplink is using FD or IM, then these are most likely NetMail
packets, since these packages don't allow you to select the packet password
to use.

If your uplink uses Binkley, then he should look at whatever he uses to
pack his NetMail.
