    I have to temporarily move 2 bbs's and my mail hub to a vps. Two of the systems use binkd. Can I run two instances of binkd with separate configs at once?

    Yes, they'll both need different inbound and outbound directories. If your binkd is listening for connections you'll need to change the inbound listening port for one of them. Set..

    iport 25555

    or similar for one of them. Nodes will need to know to connect on that port for that mailer.
