subject: Hmmmm... Thinking again

PL> WHat I need to know is, because I remeber some time ago the abilty to 
PL> invoke external programs from FD, if there is a way according to a
PL> flag in the nodelist to invoke an external program (specificly 
PL> BinkD by the IBN or INA flag) which will fire up the external to 
PL> deliver that mail.

 AI> One thing just popped into my head, is some kind of a move utility
 AI> available for FD? 

yes, as well as a bit of simple .BAT file code... however, the one util
checks flags and such and works with the STatic Queue (STQ)... however, i
cannot remember if it was ever released to the public... i think so but
will have to check a few things to be sure... i know that if it/they are in
my files areas, then they were released... hopefully, they've not gone
tripping somewhere and i've lost them...

 AI> If so you could use it to move mail/files for
 AI> certain nodes to another directory. Binkd has support for
 AI> fileboxes, it'll send evertything in a certain directory to the
 AI> node specified. That would be a reliable & cost free method to
 AI> doing this I think. 

that is exactly how i run my FD/BinkD hybrid setup... fileboxes and special
routings...
