I used CFRoute, which as the name suggests, also routes mail.  Another one
of Binkley's other fun features is it pushes the task of routing off the
mailer and onto the tosser, so you need a router anyway.


1. What is CFRoute?
-------------------
    In short, CFRoute is a netmail packer for Binkley-style mailers.
Most mailers currently in use  support this efficient handling. The
only exception I know of is FrontDoor. MainDoor, Xenia, Binkley (of
course), Binkley-XE, McMail, Portal of Power, etc, support BT-style.
    CFR fully supports static (=BT-style)  netmail routing, and has
several features that are unique to it.

2. General features
-------------------
    - Routes can be defined not only using the destination node but
      all  other  information  available: Origin  node,  encryption,
      file attached and day of the week.
    - Different flavors  can be defined for  any combination of the
      routing factors, for example you can send messages to your RC
      crash if they were  written by you but hold them  if they are
      just in transit at your system.
    - Unlimited number of routes, AKAs, netmail directories, packet
      passwords,  etc.  Only   limited  by  available   memory.  No
      harcoded limits at all.
    - Powerful and flexible configuration file parser.
    - Writes  type  2 (FTS-0001, stone age) and  type 2+ (FSC-0039)
      packets.
    - Parses via lines to get complete path information.
    - Detects loops.
    - Powerful wildcarding system, supporting ?, * and #.
    - Compiled for OS/2, Linux, DOS and Windows-32.
    - Complete domain support.
    - Long filenames supported.
    - Optionally generates FastEcho .QQQs instead of .UTs.
    - Can import data from FastEcho.
    - Freeware.
    - Source code (C++) available.
    - Documentation available in English (and an outdated version in
      Spanish).
