Synchronet should have two timed events setup. FIDOIN and FIDOOUT.  If I remember correctly, a semaphore file gets created when mail is received that triggers the FIDOIN event, which runs sbbsecho to import the messages.  Here is the FIDOIN Timed Event that I have configured on my system:

Internal Code: FIDOIN
Start-up Directory:
Command Line: %!sbbsecho%. -ce
Enabled: Yes
Execution Node: 4
Execution Months: Any
Execution Days of Month: Any
Execution Days of Week: None
Execution Time: 00:00
Requires Exlusive Exec: No
Force Users Off-line: No
Native Executable/Script: Yes
Use Shell or New Context: No
Background Execution: No
Always Run After (re)Init: No
Error Log Level: Error

As I mentioned, this would be triggered when BINKP receives a mail bundle and touches the semaphore file FIDOIN.NOW.  You can manually kick it off by touching or creating the semaphore file /sbbs/data/fidoin.now.
