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.
