Yes, Fileboxes / Mailboxes are managed internally by D'Bridge and it is not
something the end-user can override or specify.

However...

The little command-line utility program DBUTIL reveals the directories.

Type DBUTIL QNAME 1:229/426 and it will reveal the mailbox/file directory for 
placing files directly into. Look at your Queue directory, any entries 
starting with "D-" are the mailboxes for BinkD.

In this case, the queue for my system would be QUEUE\D-00106D.0BU

Keep in mind that when manually placing files into the directory, the FLO file
is not updated so BinkD would not automatically dial my system, in this case. 
You would need to generate the poll or wait for my system to exchange mail 
with yours to pickup whatever "surprise" is waiting for me...
