NAME
      binarsys - remote system information for the ckbinarsys command

DESCRIPTION
      binarsys contains lines of the form:
                               remote_system_name:val
      where val is either Y or N.  This line indicates whether that particular
      remote system can properly deal with messages having binary content.  The
      absence of an entry for a particular system or absence of the binarsys
      file altogether will imply No.

      Blank lines or lines beginning with # are considered comments and
      ignored.  Should a line of Default=y be encountered, the default
      condition for missing entries described in the previous paragraph is
      reversed to be Yes.  Another line of Default=n will restore the default
      condition to No.

      mail is distributed with the binarsys file containing only a Default=y
      line.
