  • Looking for BSO outbound manager

    From Kurt Weiske@1:218/700 to All on Mon Jan 16 16:23:00 2023
    I'm running Synchronet's Binkit mailer, which supports BSO. I'm looking
    for a program that would work with a binkley outbound and allow you to
    redirect mail, kill mail for a node, and to see when the last time
    a downlink polled.

    Does anyone know of a program (DOS or Windows) that'd do such a thing?

    Thanks!

    I think that BinkleyTerm will allow you to do most of those things. While
    you cannot technically see when the downlink polled last, you can tell how
    many packets ago they polled. If there are 44 packets waiting, and you compress outbound mail, they have not polled in a while.

    Take a look at bso-outbound-manager at sourceforge or github.

    I wrote my own bso-outbound-manager, but it is only available on OS/2 with rexx

    Thanks!

    Is it OS/2 specific REXX? Regina or ooRexx is available on other platforms too. (I'm running ooRexx on a Raspberry Pi).

    No, sorry. The code isn't clean, and most features are system specific.

    Radius is a mailer, but works as a BSO manager quite well. :)

    I pointed my old copy of Radius to my Binkit inbound and was using it to
    manage my outbounds, the only issue was that when I used it to change
    message flavors for a node, it changed the case of the *lo file, which
    caused problems with binkit.

    I also need to tell it not to poll.

    In windows world the case shouldn't be a problem?

    You can turn the tcp/ip daemon completely off. Or set rescrictions in config -> tcp/ip daemon -> required/forbidden.
