PE> Presumably you had a TH1 sitting in your inbound mail directory on 19/5

Now explain how his log shows your Bink refused the TH1

Thats a tad economical with the truth when you also say
your system has been completely rebuilt 'end to end' too.

KR> as you know who would say, means nothing, if your bink had

Yes, but the thing you cant get around is that it didnt happen with
anyone else, just you who have rebuilt your system from 'end to end'.
Three guesses what that makes it look most likely where the problem is ?

I wouldnt mind betting that if you had had your logs, that it
would have showed the same thing, your system just refused it.

KR> btw, were we short of mail today, there seems to
KR> have been a few new messages and a lot of old dupes.

There were some dupes in HDCONF yesterday, didnt notice any anywhere
else. Yesterdays volume was on the low side, but nothing outrageous,
just the volume you normally see atleast once a week.
