So, I've just followed Mystic Guy's videos. Fantastically detailed. I was looking forward to the next video but... seems they stopped :) I'm going to have a look through the Windows Playlist as he suggested to someone else. Hoping there is some kind of guidnace in there on how have mutil run automagically, rather than having to manually run the import/export. Baby steps I suppose :)

Thanks for reading!

You can create scripts or batch files and make them timed events.

For a more complex way, you can study semaphores and have them run automatically on new mail or mail creation. Lots of ways to do it on most platforms!

Thanks for that info. I've been following the "Mystic Guy" youtube videos,
and even though most of the setup is for Windows, I've been translating them
to Linux paths and such. Specifically, I've just set up Events for Inbound
and Outbound Echo/Netmail using Semaphore. There's a bug somewhere though, since after a manual Fidopoll it kicked off the event, but didn't seem to import the messages. When I manually ran the mutil command, they were imported. Either way, long way to say that I'm already on it - just need to find a bit more free time :)

Thanks again for your response!

Check Avon's video "Mystic BBS - Mystic Internet Server + Events System" to learn how to do just that:

Looks like you need to update these settings.

Since you're on linux try adding a ./ or the full path to your event. So instead of:

mutil mailin.ini

You can do

/home/mystic/mutil mailin.ini (or whatever your full path is)

or

./mutil mailin.ini

And see if that helps.

One of the traps that I was caught by is using ./mis, ./mystic or ./mutil to run commands in the current directory on linux since the current directory on linux is not on your path you need the ./ in front of those commands.

It's a linux thing.. :)

... Did you really expect mere proof to sway my opinion?

That's exactly what was wrong today when I was trying to make it work. I
wasn't sure if it was the Mystic event system, so I wrote cron scripts and that's when I realized what was wrong :D I finally got it all working in
cron, but now it seems my IP is blacklisted from all my testing lol. I should've known better :)

Thanks for the reply!

I will get around to doing more... but for now I'm focused on a couple of
other more pressing projects. Glad they have been helpful. :)

Hey jayb, this started happening to me today. Mail not tossing when received, but can be processed manually... I upgraded to the latest pre-alpha, wonder if it's connected. Weird.
