Why not just create a script file that does whatever processing you need, and 
then calls /opt/mbse/bin/mbfido tic toss web -quiet.  Make sure you flag the 
script as executable, and then change the Mailin command in MBSETUP (18.2) to 
the name of your script.

This way you don't have to screw around with renamed binaries, etc.
