    So why don't you use crashmail, it can perfectly work qico and it seems to
    be very stable and low maintnance on a system I have running.

    Amibinkd does not care about poll files with hexadecimal names.
    Instead, this is the way to do it:
    [...]
    The file 2.203.0.0. flo will be deleted after every poll and this
    has to be created again for the next poll to work properly.

    So rudy has hard coded it to use "Amiga Style Outbound" (ASO).

    apparently...

    This option is also present in the normal binkd sample config
    files.

    yup!

    This goes back to the day's of when the amiga range of FTN
    software was first developed.

    IIRC, it was one of the first mailer platforms to use LFNs, too ;)

    Amiga's where ahead of there time, and have always had long file name support.

    No net yet, but I have a 3 rpi-b's and 1 pri-b+ running fidonet software.
    Running it on a rpi3 would be a waste of resources.

    Why should it link to smapi, it supports Jam and msg message bases already.
    Runs like a charm, with a weekly maintenance procudure you do not have
    to look after it at all.
