 No you are asking others to do it for you.

 KE>>  You are illogically focussed on one mailer,

 MvdV> The /is/ the binkd area, where the binkd mailer is discussed, isn't it?

 Yes, but the mechanism of BSO and the function of files en semaphores is not
 owned by BINKD.

 You are asking that BINKD will behave in an offstandard way to other
 mailers.

 You can keep the bone.
