Maximus uses the *.msg format. I sent a        DW> test message to the FSX_NET hub robot using the D'Bridge editor and as        DW> soon as I exited the editor D'Bridge sent it out to my hub. I looked        DW> in my c:\max\msg\fsx_tst directory and saw that 12.msg was created by        DW> the built in editor and sent out. I logged into Maximus and sent out        DW> another message to the robot and it just sat there. I looked in the        DW> message directory and saw that message as 13.msg. D'Bridge did nothing        DW> with that message. i can see the message in the built in editor of        DW> D'Bridge but when I exit it ells me that 1 message scanned, none        DW> packed. I guess my question is what does it take to get D'Bridge to        DW> send the message out that was created by Maximus? Maximus will exit        DW> with a errorlevel when a user hangs up after entering an echomail or        DW> netmail. Do I need to tell Maximus to send D'Bridge a semaphore to        DW> rescan and pack?              This was already the case in the early years of D'Bridge, if you enter       messages via D'Bridge editor, then that trigger is immediately present to send       the mail.              But mail messages entered externally then that trigger is not present.       What I did then and still do is send the mail manually from D'Bridge via menu       option UTILITIES and then Process mail (manually).              But there is another very nice option in D'Bridge and that is via menu option       CONFIG and then Scheduler/Routing.       In the scheduler you can create events for sending mail. So you can, for       example, checks 2 times a day to see if mail needs to be sent.              I hope you can do something with this.              Kind regards,       Leo                     --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: --- |
