Remove the stale bsy files.
binkd has a setting for that, to do it automatically:
# Remove old .bsy/.csy files (If some are left after a system crash). It would # be wise to set this to 12h on almost any system. (Note that
binkd always # touches .bsy's/.csy's for active sessions)
#
# kill-old-bsy is OFF by default.
#
kill-old-bsy 4h

Is the use of 4h OK in the syntax or do I need to state ,minutes instead?

Also set up 'kill-old-bsy' in your binkd.conf:

FWIW, I've been using "kill-old-bsy 43200 " on any binkD config for at least the last 15 years.

That does not help you now, if a session has crashed and you want to try
it again. If one not aware of the auto removal, one may wonder why
thing sometimes work and sometimes don't.

Damned right! It's so big & beautiful. ;-)
(It also means I've never been plagued by .bsy file sillyness.)

Of course.
When troubleshooting, always delete all .bsy, .try and .hld first in
every bso subdir.

I erase them as well as the .hld files, because sometimes .try's are

Each? I'll start collecting .try's right now! Where can I cash them in january 2019? Can I have EUR instead of toy money?

You should even be able to charge premium prices for them. After all, they're 100% recycled! :-D

There are 'hold' and 'try' settings. I can understand if binkd reads
the .try file in one hour, but after 1 or 10 years they are orphan
files.
I think .try's should be cleaned by binkd as well as the .hld's.
I think .try's should be cleaned by binkd as well as the .hld's.
then what's the use of having them in the first place? or are you saying that they should only live as long as the hld files? that would mean the try files will never be created for successful outbound connections??

I don't know exactly how binkd uses them, but it sure is not nice if I send you crashmail once and after that there will be a .try forever in
the bso.
I just made a poll from my point. Now I have:
