Binkd  is  a Fidonet mailer designed to operate via TCP/IP networks. As a FTN-compatible internet daemon,
       it makes possible efficient utilization of TCP/IP protocol suite as a transport layer in FTN-based  (Fido
       Technology Network) networks.

       Binkd  expects  your  spool  for Fido-like networks to be in BSO ("Bink style outbound") or optionaly ASO
       ("Amiga style outbound") format.  BSO is also used by ifmail and BinkleyTerm mailers.

BINKD_LOG
              log  file  name.   Binkd  uses this enviroment variable if the logfile token is not defined in the
              config file

-CBinkd running with this  option  will  reread  the  configuration  file  if  it  is  changed.  The
              modification  time of the configuration file is checked every 60 seconds and on every incoming and
              outgoing connection.

       -c     Start client only. Normally Binkd starts both server and client.

       -D     Run Binkd as a daemon (cannot be used for client-only mode).

       -i     Run Binkd from inetd.-P     Poll a node.  An empty *.ilo file in the outbound will be  created,  which  will  force  Binkd  to
              connect  to  and to receive mail from the node ( Binkd will also add "Node node * -" record to the
              table-of-nodes in Binkd ´s memory if there is no entry for the node in the configuration file).

       -p     Start client manager, process polls, quit if the queue seems to be empty after  the  next  rescan.
              Implies -c.-q     Quiet mode. Turns off printq,conlog and percents statements of configuration.

       -r     Disable crypt traffic.

       -s     Start server only. Normally Binkd starts both server and client.

       -v     Be verbose.  Binkd-v will dump binkd's version and quit.

       -vv    Dump version and compiled-in options.

       -d     Dump parsed config and exit.

       -m     Disable CRAM-MD5 authorization. Implies -r.-h     Print help message.
