I use sln_sf.pl here.  Note that if you try to FREQ using a BinkP mailer
that isn't BinkD it will fail.  This had me confused for ages.  According
to the author of IREX it's caused by a bug in BinkD.

In binkd.conf I have:

Exec "/usr/bin/perl /home/fidonet/bin/sln_sf.pl *S" *.req
Exec "/bin/sh /home/fidonet/bin/inmail" *.pkt *.su? *.mo? *.tu?
*.we? *.th? *.fr? *.sa? *.tic

And sln_sf.conf:

our             3:633/267
note            /home/fidonet/sln_sf.note
log             /home/fidonet/log/sln_sf.log
accessdb        /home/fidonet/bin/sln_sf.access
pathdb          /home/fidonet/bin/sln_sf.path
filedb          /home/fidonet/bin/sln_sf.file
aliasdb         /home/fidonet/bin/sln_sf.alias
limitdb         /home/fidonet/bin/sln_sf.limit

# default access
addr    *               90000000                        1

# aliases
# alias path/file.name
alias   files   /home/fidonet/file/filelist.txt

# path                                      access level
/home/fidonet/file/fidonews/                1
/home/fidonet/file/nodelist/                1

etc.


And in /home/fidonet/bin/inmail I have:

/home/fidonet/bin/mkdbase.pl
ls -lRt /home/fidonet/file > /home/fidonet/file/filelist.txt

So the database is kept updated (because I don't think sln_sf.pl updates
the database each time it runs).

Also, I disabled the .pkt generation part of sln_sf.pl due to it generating
packets with the wrong address as the destination (or was it the origin?).
