    I'm running Synchronet's Binkit mailer, which supports BSO. I'm
    looking for a program that would work with a binkley outbound and
    allow you to redirect mail, kill mail for a node, and to see when the
    last time a downlink polled.

    Does anyone know of a program (DOS or Windows) that'd do such a thing?
    Take a look at bso-outbound-manager at sourceforge or github.

    I wrote my own bso-outbound-manager, but it is only available on OS/2 with rexx

    Thanks!

    Is it OS/2 specific REXX? Regina or ooRexx is available on other platforms too. (I'm running ooRexx on a Raspberry Pi).

    No, sorry. The code isn't clean, and most features are system specific.

    Radius is a mailer, but works as a BSO manager quite well. :)

    I pointed my old copy of Radius to my Binkit inbound and was using it to
    manage my outbounds, the only issue was that when I used it to change
    message flavors for a node, it changed the case of the *lo file, which
    caused problems with binkit.

    I also need to tell it not to poll.

    In windows world the case shouldn't be a problem?

    You can turn the tcp/ip daemon completely off. Or set rescrictions in config -> tcp/ip daemon -> required/forbidden.
