subject: setting up Db

Greetings all! I am new to using D'Bridge and I am attempting to setup an old school BBS like I ran in the '90s. I am running OS/2 Warp 4 and have Db setup and running with Binkd accdepting all the incoming echomail from my Mystic BBS hub. I have DB setup to toss mail into C:\Max\Msg\. I am subbed to the FSXNet network and the mail groups are setup in Maximus as C:\Max\Msg\FSX_* . I notice that DB will toss the mail correctly but will not scan and pack up outgoing mail. Is this a setting I am missing or is a 3rd party software required to gather outgoing mail? Currently I am using Fastecho to scan and pack mail wheneve a user exits the bbs. How do you guys handle that? 

Another question I have is do you guys use a batch file to load DB and in turn load your bbs? Currently I have DB loading from a command line as well as Maximus so both are running independant of the other. This setup kind of works but I keep thinking there must be a better way. In the old days I ran Frontdoor/RA BBS and everything ran smoothly with a single albeit large batch file but that was the days before telnet took over and modems faded away. Thanks for any suggestions and pointing me in the right direction.
