right... and nick's comment from earlier caused me to take another look at
fileboxes... that closer look being related to my system where i set up
both inbound and outbound fileboxes... i realized that one can set up only
outbound fileboxes and all inbound traffic from connected systems would
land in one of the inbound directories (secure or insecure)... if i were to
switch and use only outbound fileboxes, it would make my inbound mail
processing easier as i would not have to specifically look for busy flags
and move the traffic from all the various inbound fileboxes... i would only
need to move traffic from the secure and insecure inbounds to my
proccessing inbound's secure and insecure directories...

but with that last statement, i wonder if i could share my inbound
directories between FD and binkd on my hybrid setup? of course the two
cannot talk to each other as they use different forms of semaphores but the
storage of inbound files should work... doing this would eliminate even the
extra little bit of moving inbound traffic from binkd's inbound to my
processing inbound because none of the files would have to be moved from
where they landed no matter which mailer than arrive through... this
requires more study, dissection and thought...
