mutil is refusing to unzip any packet from fsxNet, and only fsxNet.
Turns out to be a permissions problem in Linux. I've figured it out, mostly.

If your running mis as sudo [...]
That's not exactly the problem I was having. My VNC server is running as root, not mis. So, if I were to use a terminal window in VNC, I would be doing so as root. Therefore, when I was doing message polls, the
incoming packets would belong to root, not the normal user.
What I need to figure out is how to get the VNC server off root, and
onto the normal user. Or, just re-assign the packets I receive this
way...

Have you tried doing su user? this changes the user to whichever user
you prefer.
Excuse me while I slap my forehead a hundred times. I should have
thought of this a long time ago. It does nothing about the VNC server running as root, but it certainly solves the problem I was having with polling and mail import.
Why are you doing it manually? You can use the events system to do it
for you.
I am aware. My DNS service is not currently running, so I am not automatically receiving packets. I do have an hourly event set up, but
it is running only hourly, and sometimes I wish to have a quicker
update. It's only a temporary issue, anyway...

Just set it to every 15 minutes. That what I did. I have the crash
thing ready but don't want to trouble Avon right now. Also you can set
it up to pull on every push. That way if your user is being active in
the posting it will automatically pull each time too.

It's no longer an issue. As I said, it was only temporary, and my DNS service is back online. Now, BinkP is working as it should, and all messages are arriving instantly.
Also, you wouldn't necessarily need to bother Avon to set up BinkP crashing. You'd want to contact your hub controller.

Which turns out to be Avon anyway. Never mind... (o_-)
