do you have "send-if-pwd" in your configuration? that says to send mail only if
the session is password protected... no password protection, no transmission of
files... disable or remove that option if you have it set and try again...

Did you give it enough stack before running amibinkd?

My memory might be rusty but I rember having to use 500000 stack on the binkd for the amiga.

If your still having trouble, I also have a "fixed" version that was sent to me by the auther of Zeus BBS for the amiga.

I'd have to get the old girl (A4000/040, cybergraphics etc...) of the shelf and see if she'll fire up.

The docs says to give a stack of 50000. I've given it 150000 and now it seems to work kind of. A few complaints from ixemul.library but it hasn't crashed for
24 hours now.. :)

it is doubtful that binkp (the protocol) will ever support EMSI (another protocol)...

It's v48.0 for both. As I'm writing this the Amiga has been up and running with
Amibinkd 9.00 for almost 30 hours straight. A new record.

I found a later version of ixemul.net, v63.something, which seemed more stable at first but produced it own set of interesting problems so I switched back.

I did say my memory might be rusty. I would still be running the bbs on my amiga, if it wasn't for the bugs in
some of the software.

It still is.

Turns out, if you give Amibinkd a larger stack than 50000 it crashes within hours. I found out a few other things that actually seems to be keeping it running properly.

1. Disable disk logging.
2. Minimize on-screen logging.
3. Use a stack of 50000, no more, no less.

With those restrictions you might as well not run it.

Well. It works. And if it works, I don't need any logs. So there.

perhaps you (still??) miss the point?? there is a huge difference between binkD
and binkP... the former /might/ support EMSI one day but that is extremely doubtful... the latter won't support EMSI...

i will keep my qico problem

enjoy it :)
