Wow, you hit the nail on the head. The last BINKD.TXT that was released in the
I-BINKD file echo doesn't contain any domains for any of the addresses listed
in it.

I've grabbed it and will definitely look into it. I've been having problems
with the BINKD.TXT that has been hatched out in the filegate for quite some
time now. If it was hatched at all.

Thanks for the help Wilfred. I didn't even think to look at BINKD.TXT, and
that's exactly where the issue lies. I'll remove the file echo and start
creating it myself for all the networks I carry here.

Regards,
Nick
