  • When it would be better to start filetoss?

    From Nicola Mettimano@2:335/601 to All on Sat Aug 13 15:18:17 2022
    Hello guys, and sorry for probably stupid question...
    Ok, I know both incoming and outcoming echomails and netmails create a semaphore file then i added [ImportEchoMails] and [ExportEchoMails] procedures on my event list, this way all work fine and semaphores file are deleted at the end.
    My questionis...: it seems that semaphore files are not created for incoming files so, when it would be better to start [FileToss] procedure?
    Interval like 1 hour?
    Along with [ImportoEchoMails]?
    Thanks.

    ...when it would be better to start [FileToss] procedure?

    I have my mailin.ini setup like this:

    [General]
    ImportEchoMail = true
    FileToss = true
    LinkMessages = true


    So I just toss files whenever I get mail, if there are .tic files there they'll get tossed, if there isn't it just continues on.

    Ok, so, as you wrote, files are waiting for an incoming echomail to be exported and visible in BBS right?
    Is not possible to work in real time like semaphore?
    Is not so important for me, just to know... ;-)
