    The log I saw you posted here showed you receiving 2 files via BINKP, neither of which was a packet.
    Do you have log entries which show you receiving a packet (*.pkt file)? Have you looked for that/those files on your file system?

    I searched for .PKT and I found several.

    directories c:\binkd\inbound and c:\sbbs\temp

    Thanks.

    (421) + 14:34 [1920] sent: \FIDO\OUTBOUND\db9911a0.pkt (421, 421.00
    Thanks. I guess at least he could look for the existence of that particular .pkt filename on his file system, unless packet filenames are renamed in-flight. I don't recall if they are.

    I find this file in c:\binkd\inbound it's still there. 421 bytes

    Is "c:\binkd\inbound" listed in your sbbsecho.ini file?

    Is "c:\binkd\inbound" listed in your sbbsecho.ini file?

    Yes I checked :
    Inbound = c:\binkd\inbound\
    Outbound = c:\binkd\outbound\
    SecureInbound = c:\sbbs\fido\inbound

    Or should I change that SecureInboud to c:\binkd\inbound\ ?

    Thanks in advance

    do not make secure and unsecure inbounds the same...

    are your binkd inbounds specified the same as the above sbbsecho ones?

    Your secure and non-secure inbound directories should not be the *same* directory.

    They are not the same... so I don't get the answer...

    Inbound = c:\binkd\inbound\
    SecureInbound = c:\sbbs\fido\inbound

    What should I do now?

    So searching back through the thread, you earlier stated tihs:

    I searched for .PKT and I found several.

    directories c:\binkd\inbound and c:\sbbs\temp

    That means that you're receiving .pkt files in your non-secure inbound directory. Is this what you're expecting? Normally, only netmail packets from nodes that you don't have a formal relationship should be received into your non-secure inbound directory. Other packets (including all echomail) should be received in your secure inbound directory.
