nope... remember? i have a hybrid frontdoor/binkd setup over here... frontdoor
doesn't do BSO and i don't know of any tosser that operates in FD and BSO mode
at the same time... so everything is processed in my standard frontdoor mode...

a special tool, which understands the frontdoor outbound format, reads the
frontdoor dynamic netmail area and static queue and moves the files into
predefined directories for each destination system... those directories just
happen to be the filebox out directories for each system that does binkd
transfers with my system...

the inbound processing script does the opposite by looking for busy files and
moving the inbound mail and files into one of the central frontdoor style
inbound directories... secure stuff to the secure inbound and insecure stuff to
the insecure inbound...

ha! i wish ;)

in the frontdoor world, there is only one outbound directory and the mailer
dynamically routes and packs netmail into packets depending on the active
mailer event... it does this by reading and processing the netmail messages in
the mailer's netmail directory... there is no blackhole like BSO is well known
for because the mailer can easily repack the mail to another system if
necessary... this because the mail remains in the netmail area until the packet
containing it is actually sent to the destination...

If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until
you hire an amateur.
