 JM> Any ideas?

 The exec line needs at least a second parameter, to specify on
which files received it needs to be executed.

So use * for all files.
Or *.[pP][kK][tT] for packet files.

 There are plenty of examples for this in the binkd.conf example
file! https://github.com/pgul/binkd/blob/master/binkd.conf


Bye, Wilfred.
