The default configuration is when a new echomail message is DM> locally-posted, the FIDOOUT event is run (because the default setting of SCFG->Networks->FidoNet->Echomail Sempahore is set to DM> "%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). DM> So... did you change a setting? Do you have log output that demonstates the issue? DM I did not make any changes to the settings except I added a few nodes, changed the Fidonet events to 5 and placed all the node status on hold. This is the settings I am using by default.
