-The '^' (caret) tells your BSO mailer to delete the req file after it has been sent.+Let's say we want to send a FREQ to a system in Micronet. Micronet is zone 618. In HEX that is 26a so the outbound would be outbound.26a. So, a request to 618:3634/12 would look like this.

 When your BSO mailer scans its outbound directories and sees the file 0e32000c.flo, it will attempt to connect to 1:3634/12 and deliver the myfreq.req file. If 1:3634/12 has FREQ enabled, it will read the filenames from the .req file, and queue those files to send back to you during the current connection. When your BSO mailer scans its outbound directories and sees the file 0e32000c.flo, it will attempt to connect to 1:3634/12 and deliver the myfreq.req file.

-If the destination system is in another zone than your default zone, then the outbound directory for that zone has an extension as noted above. Let's say we want to send a FREQ to a system in Micronet. Micronet is zone 618. In HEX that is 26a so the outbound would be outbound.26a.
