  • BinkIT vs. Radius

    From Nightfox@1:103/705 to All on Thu Oct 4 13:19:13 2018
    Hi all,

    I have been using Radius for my FTN mailer, but recently I have been curious about using BinkIT. Recently I was reading the BinkIT page on the Synchronet wiki and did the automated install (jsexec binkit install). BinkIT appears to be running now. I'm just wondering if there would still be any need to run Radius (or another mailer) anymore if using BinkIT? And are there any tips or caveats for migrating from Radius or another mailer to BinkIT?

    Not that I can think of.

    And
    are there any tips or caveats for migrating from Radius or another mailer to BinkIT?

    So long as your direct links are setup in EchoCfg correctly (e.g. session passwords), that should be all you need to migrate from another mailer.
