That is pretty much what I have been doing... I've have any nodes I wish to
make direct contact with set up in FMail to put them in their own filebox,
and BinkD does the rest.  That is -somewhat- of a solution, but still lacks
the ability to send to nodes flying nothing but IBN netmail based on
nodelist info other than by routing it.  I was hoping somebody may have
figured out a way to "trick" FD into launching an external
utility such as BinkD based on flags, even if it involved an FD to BSO
conversion utility somewhere in between to make it all flow right... while
still a kludge, a solution like that would actually make FD usable for
years to come.
