mutil can post automated messages:

[mutil.ini]

; Current abilities (enabled/disabled in the General header below):
;
;    - Post text files to message bases

{SNIP}

[General]

  ; list of functions to perform on startup

  PostTextFiles      = true

{SNIP}

[PostTextFiles]

  ; Total number of text files to be posted.  For each file there needs to
  ; be a file definition as show below.

  totalfiles = 1

  ; This defines one file which will be posted to the message base.  Each
  ; file should be prefixed with file# where # is a number from 1 to
  ; totalfiles.
  ;
  ; The delfile option (if true) will remove the filename after the message
  ; is posted.  The baseidx is the permanent index of the message base to
  ; post the message into (shown as Index at the top of the message base
  ; editor in Mystic's configuration.  Address is the echomail destination
  ; address

  file1_name    = myfile.txt
  file1_baseidx = 2
  file1_from    = Sysop
  file1_to      = All
  file1_subj    = My subject
  file1_addr    = 0:0/0
  file1_delfile = false
