When I was/had BinkD running under Linux I used the following commandline to
toss incoming:
exec "/home/bbbs/mailin.sh" *.su? *.mo? *.tu? *.we? *.th? *.fr? *.sa? *.tic
*.pkt

Why would you want to execute your mail/file processor after the reception of
each file?  I sometimes receive 20-30 files (.pkt/.tic) per mail session. The
mail/file processor is called once per transfer session.
