(1) if a node is set to BinkpPoll = false *but* the system has an outbox defined *and* sbbsecho or binkit has moved the packets for that node into said outbox, binkit will poll the node anyway.

(a) I don't think it should be moving outbound mail packets into the outbox... I think that is normally only for "non-mail" files
(b) regardless, if a node is set to BinkpPoll = false, binkit shouldn't be trying to connect to it.

I use BinkpPoll = false when I have nodes that can call in fine but where the mailers don't answer incoming calls correctly, for example.

(2) Don't know what is causing this one... will include output... but I have a node where my system tries sending a bunch of mail but where you can see only two packets are reported sent, and no errors except "We got an M_EOB, but there are still 1 files pending M_GOT" (which I thought could be ignored) are displayed:

FYI, all of the packets listed exist on this end. I am going to try this node with binkd and see what happens.

(3) binkit is "hanging" sometimes when it hits a node it cannot connect to, maxing out a whole CPU until I force-stop the sbbs instance -- this is related to problem #1 and would probably be fixed if #1 was working right. That said, I remember asking for a fix a while back to have binkit time when it takes too long to connect, but that is not working in this case.

Thanks!

It is an issue -- if you set something in a config file as "false" the
software should not just turn around and do it anyway.

I'm not saying it's not an issue, I'm saying that if you want to discuss it with the author of BinkIt, this probably isn't the best place to do that. Use gitlab.synchro.net instead.
