That's not how Synchronet and SBBSecho work, by default. The default 
configuration is when a new echomail message is locally-posted, the FIDOOUT 
event is run (because the default setting of SCFG->Networks->FidoNet->Echomail 
Sempahore is set to "%jfidoout.now"). FIDOUT runs SBBSecho export, but does 
*not* trigger a BinkIT/BinkP outbound connection (because 
echocfg->Paths->Outgoing Semaphore File is *blank* by default).

So... did you change a setting? Do you have log output that demonstates the 
issue?
