• irex and binkd

    From Gregory J. Deyss@1:267/150 to all on Tue Oct 9 23:12:12 2012
    Does binkd need to be within the rex directory in order to work with it. Currently rex is in the c:\rex
    Binkd is located at c:\fd\binkd

    Other issue to get mail to toss I have to manually run a batch file that I created
    @echo off
    cd\fmail
    fmailx toss
    end
    Again Binkd is not currently within the Irex directory is that why I have to run the batch file manually. I would like to system to run by total 100 % on auto pilot.
    Thanks for all replies,

    Try using that batch file as Between.bat in the Irex directory, and set Irex to
    Must run Between.bat.

    Irex and BinkD are two individual programs, one not needing to interface
    with the other, period. Irex uses its own version of BinkP and needs no integration with any other mailer/frontend.

    Load Irex with your batch file as in:

    rexw.exe -daemon -tray (*)

    * IF you're using it with Windows, you can load it into windows with the
    -tray command after daemon and you will be able to bring it up with a
    mouse click on the icon, which you'll find in the tray (where your system
    clock and other background programs are running).

    You then config Irex to -fetch, -pack or -send mail and it will reside in memory and run on its own, using what you have configed in your EVENTS schedule. When in doubt, there is a help screen just one key away -
    pressing F1 anytime you're configuring Irex will bring up the manual and section for that line.

    Other issue to get mail to toss I have to manually run a batch file
    that I created @echo off cd\fmail fmailx toss end

    Config an event in Irex to call that batch file to toss mail.

    Again Binkd is not currently within the Irex directory is that why
    I have to run the batch file manually.

    If Binkd is what you're running to fetch or send mail, then you'll have to
    toss your mail before and after an online event.

    Irex set up with the -daemon feature will run 100% on it's own, -sending, -fetching and -packing (netmail) mail when ever it comes to an event to do
    so.

    Alright I will try that and I let you know if this works.
