Hi Robert,   
      
   >I was wondering how to get BBBS.EXE or BBBSD.EXE to automatically toss inbound   
   > mail packets once the system receives them from an uplink or downlink?   
      
   It's controlled in the script or batch file you start bbbs with, generally..   
   you probably wouldn't want to do this with your bbbsd startup batchfile since   
   if all the nodes are tossing/scanning you'd run into problems.   
      
   On my linux system, I did have say my dialout node (node 2) doing this   
   initially, then later I switched the job to a cron job.  This is how I did it   
   when I was using node 2 to toss/scan mail:   
      
   ===cut here Dial-out node 2=== #sign lines are commented out!===   
   #!/bin/sh # this line only for linux   
   cd /home/bbbs   
   BBBSLANG en_US.utf8   
   while :   
   do   
      cd /home/bbbs   
     ./bbbs 2 2 TCPIP   
   #   
     RC=$?   
     echo BBBS RC: $RC   
      
   #  if [ $RC = 137 ]; then   
   #    exit   
   #  fi   
      
   #  set this errorlevel in Global: FidoNet: Sessions: Mail errorlevel   
   #  if [ $RC = 11 ];   
   #    then nohup /home/bbbs/mailin.sh  &   
   #  fi   
   #  Above commented out since I run mailin.sh in a cron job now.   
   #  set this errorlevel in Global: FidoNet: Sessions: User mail errl.   
   #  if [ $RC = 12 ];   
   #  then nohup /home/bbbs/mailout.sh &   
   #  fi   
      
     if [ $RC = 0 ]; then   
       exit   
     fi   
      
     reset   
      
   done   
   ===end of script====   
      
      
   Mailin.sh is just a simple call to bbbs bogus w:   
      
   ===mailin.sh ===   
   #!/bin/sh # this line only for linux   
   cd /home/bbbs/   
   ./bbbs bogus w &   
   ./bbbs btick &   
   exit   
      
      
      
   Not sure how you'd translate some of this with os/2 though :(   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
