what do you mean "setting his outbound directory"?? that sounds
like a filebox... you should not mix fileboxes and the normal BSO outbound
if that's what irex is using... put the fileboxes in c:\irex\boxes
instead...

eg:
  c:\irex\boxes\1\3634\12
  c:\irex\boxes\8\0\0
  c:\irex\boxes\57\57\0

i do something similar as above with my binkd but i have both inbound and
outbound boxes... i use the full address separated by backslashes as
shown... that way it is easy for me to see what zone, net and node i'm
working with...

i suspect that it is because you are mixing your fileboxes in with your
BSO... BSO will create directories like that, though, but they are numbered
by zone instead of net... either drop the fileboxes and use the plain BSO
or move the fileboxes out of the BSO...
