    I have found a problem with mailers that find their roots in the good
old Bink environment, with one known exception: Xenia.

    The problem is the following:

    Using FD 2.32 mL, I wish to send a large number of of crash mails to
individual nodes, and I can do so by:

    - setting the event to crash mail only
    - setting pick up mail to OFF
    - setting exit on received mail to OFF
    - prohibiting netmail folder rescans

    and attain over 2 connects per minute on my X75 line and more than 1
connect per minute on my analogue node.

    Except with Bink 2.60 (any flavour) and Cantaloup. As soon as they've
read my EMSI packet they'll not accept my netmail.

    A typical log file entry for such a non-event is (trivial data suppressed):

+  0:35:06  Calling RBBS Landsmeer, 2:280/806, 020-4821333
=  0:35:16  CONNECT 64000/ARQ/X75/0700/ID=00204821333
+  0:35:18  RBBS_Landsmeer, node 5 (ISDNC), 2:280/806
~  0:35:18  SysOp: Bert van Hoekelen
~  0:35:18  Using: BinkleyTerm 2.60/(UNREGISTERED)
?  0:35:20  Unable to send F:\PKT2\0200789F.PKT
?  0:35:21  Unable to complete mail transfer
$  0:35:21  To 2:280/806, 0:05, 3

    As soon as I lift the 'pick up mail' ban, there is no problem whatsoever.

    This problem goes a long time back: some time in 1993 I spent over EUR
25 with FrotnDoor trying to crash a netmail to Pete Franchi without wanting
to get any waiting mail from him...

    I think a solution to the problem is needed, but don't tell me how to
do that -- please pass this on to the current fosters of Bink or tell me
where I can contact them.

    Most probably it is just an internal flag that is being set the wrong way 8(
