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.

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

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.
