subject: Auto Posting TXT Files

I want to auto post my BBS ad... I had looked through the stalk mutil.ini and
found, at least what I though was, the appropriate sections.  Cut and pasted
said information to a separate file called postad.ini.  Ran mutil.exe
postad.ini and it failed...

Lets walk through this....

[PostTextFiles]

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

    totalfiles = 1

from what I can tell... The number that goes here is the total number of
messages being posted.... If I'm posting 1 TXT file into 3 different message
bases the totalfiles = 3

The rest of the INI file is as follows....

; 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    = joesad.txt
    file1_baseidx = 48
    file1_from    = IB Joe
    file1_to      = All
    file1_subj    = JoesBBS Ad
    file1_addr    = 1:342/201
    file1_delfile = false

If there are more than one message bases being posted into the part that says
file1_???? would be changed to file2_???? and file3_????  and the
file?_baseidx = Is the unique number each message base has in Mystic's setup

Am I missing something...??

Thanx in advance
