OK, I have renamed slightly the files going into FSX_IMGE so that shouldn't
happen anymore for that area.

Mine is also very basic. I have been meaning to beef it up for years but I
haven't gotten to it yet. ;)

My script has a test for usermail.flg and if found runs a mail scan. Something
similar could be done based on gotmail.flg that is created on received mail.
I'll include it below.

#!/bin/sh
# This script will toss incoming mail and files

export TZUTC="-0700"
export TZ="PDT+7"

cd /bbbs
./bbbs bogus w >/dev/null 2>&1
./bbbs btick >/dev/null 2>&1
./bbbs bfilsort >/dev/null 2>&1
./bbbs bfileidx >/dev/null 2>&1
touch /bbbs/work/rescan.2

# outgoing mail

if [ -f /bbbs/work/usermail.flg ]; then
    rm -f /bbbs/work/usermail.flg
    cd /bbbs
    ./bbbs bogus r > /dev/null 2>&1
    touch /bbbs/work/rescan.2
fi


The above is my mailin.sh script.

 Ttyl :-),

... All right, so I like spending money!  But name one other extravagance.
