    Janis, tried connected via your binkp server (not the BBBS one) and am not
    able to connect, so switched over the your BBBS one and was able to get mail through. Is everything ok on your end?

    Hi Robert,

    Janis, tried connected via your binkp server (not the BBBS one) and am not able to connect, so switched over the your BBBS one and was able to get mail through. Is everything ok on your end?

    Yes, everything is fine over here.

    I run two binkp servers. BBBS's binkp server runs on port 24555. BINKD's binkp server runs on port 24554 (stanard port).

    Maybe all the sessions under BINKD were busy? Unlikely... but I don't see any connection from you on that server in my log for 24554...

    Remember also that if you poll me on my 24554 BinkD binkp server your mail will
    not be there.. Your mail is only held in BBBS's directories. I have to put nodes that poll me on 24554 in a script I run for BINKD. You can drop off any mail for my system on either port though.

    Take care,
    Janis
