This is a key stanza you will want to run each time message packets and other files arrive at your Mystic BBS.

Message packets (compressed or raw) and other files (nodelists, infopacks etc.) are usually sent over the Internet to your Mystic BBS via a mail transport system such as BinkP or FTP. Both are easy to use with Mystic BBS as Mystic has both BinkP and FTP servers inbuilt.

It's probably fair to say the majority of BBS systems in action today use the BinkP protocol/server as their preferred means of sending and receiving echomail and netmail across the Internet

The '[ImportEchoMail]' stanza tells MUTIL to scan the defined 'Inbound Echomail' path in Mystic e.g. c:\mystic\echomail\in for newly arrived inbound mail. If it finds any newly arrived message packets it will import them in to the BBS and toss them in to their correct message bases. Users of the BBS can then read them and reply to them.

To enable this function you modify the '[general]' stanza as follows:

[general]

ImportEchoMail     = true
