MAIL.IN file (appendix 22)

# MAIL.IN

(Appendix 22)

    This file is used for importing messages directly to the BBS.  FBB checks
    every minute for the existence of this file (filename and path may be
    changed in INIT.SRV, but the default is \FBB\MAIL.IN).  If the file exists,
    the messages in the file will be imported directly into the BBS.

    The format of each message is identical to the format of any message
    normally sent to the BBS.  Example of short MAIL.IN with 2 messages:

    SP F6FBB < LA6CU                        (S-line)
    Testmessage                             (Title)
    This is only a test                     (Message)
    /EX                                     (/EX)
    SB ALL @ EU < LA6CU $12345ABCD
    Test Message
    This is just another test
    /EX

    Some servers include a #-sign between each message to force the
    from-bbs to become the callsign of this BBS.  This is still alowed, but
    should maybe not be necessary.

    After the file has been processed (the messages imported) the file is
    automatically deleted.
