no... binkd doesn't execute anything over here on the main system... my mail
scripts were moving a large files into the fileboxes when binkd rescanned and
saw the file in one of the fileboxes which it promptly tried to deliver to the
remote system owning the filebox... nothing else... when the system gets busy,
a copy/move that would normally take 15 to 20 seconds can take up to 60 seconds
or more...
