Downloaded the newest version because of your messages a couple of days ago. Was worried about setting up BinkD/P...but you have the OS/2 version built
into your software. Looks a lot like setting up in Mystic...but with many
more options available.

What part of the manual do I need to be reading to have D'Bridge only mail
the packets from/to the hubs...while FMail or FastEcho do the tossing into the BBS software?

Thank you again!

In Config-Packet/Mail, change Inbound Mail handling to External.

That will shut off the internal tosser. You will be responsible for calling your tosser somehow to handle the incoming; but BinkDOS2 should be creating a semaphore/dummy file called DBRIDGE.UFM (Unpack/Forward Mail) whenever anything is received. A simple looping batch file could check for this and call your tosser accordingly. Erase that semaphore when done tossing.

You can use the semaphore/dummy file DBRIDGE.RSN to force-rescan the outgoing Queue once Fmail/Fastecho have created outgoing packets; since D'Bridge has no way of knowing what is in the outgoing Queue when set in External
operation unless its specifically told.

Any tosser you use with D'Bridge must specifically state that it supports D'Bridge or ArcMail-Style Attachments. Do NOT use BSO or other queue-styles.

Love that Green Dragon! ;)

Fantastic! Makes sense that you're using another program outside D'Bridge to
do the heavy work.

That's a good way to have the tosser find what it needs to do.

Calling *.UFM after polling...then *.RSN for outgoing packets. Very nice.

Am so happy you spelled this out...since you might find it by digging...but stating it plainly saves a ton of time.

Thank you again for all your help. Gotta a 5:30 AM workday tomorrow...but am off at 10:30 AM to head back at 7 PM Friday evening...so should have time to get this set up.

This system actually uses the internal tosser to manage mail for 70+ some-odd downlinks. The internal tosser only supports *.MSG and Hudson/Goldbase but for my needs its perfect. I'll admit that I have not had the real motivation to sit and write JAM and Squish support but may take another stab at it now that this stupid virus has me on lock-down.

There is a LOT of "heavy" tossing that happens here as I'm sure you can imagine. I hub a lot of mail including Usenet groups. The Usenet groups are
a perfect stress-test for any tosser. I worked hard to ensure the heaviest
of tossing doesn't choke. The D'Bridge tosser is extremely rock-solid.

No problem, let me know if you have any questions.

Not only would that help me...but some others like Tony & such who would love to have as many modern options available as possible to do as many items as possible. Just added another 8 GB of memory to the Lenovo & setup that much as a RAM drive.

The one thing which impressed me (hadn't taken a look at it in decades) was
how well you had help for everything you needed. Impressed me to death that
you explained what was needed & the reason for it.

are a perfect stress-test for any tosser. I worked hard to ensure the heaviest of tossing doesn't choke. The D'Bridge tosser is extremely rock-solid.

I can imagine with your setup for Z1 & everything else you have running over there. Am glad you have it setup & available for all of us to use.
