Hi Anna,

I guess it doesnt really related to "messages", most InterBBS games send "files" around (that the message system ignores when tossing inbound mail packets).

So you need to have another task that processes the inbound files, and for outbound, its easier if you put them in a filebox to send to the appropriate uplink.

So for me, I have a timed event (run multiple times per day) that runs a batch file.

That batch file looks for specific game packets, runs the games maintenance utility, and then places any outbound game packets in a filebox (which binkit takes care of the next time it talks to the system).
