Am I missing something...??

One other thing not copy and pasted .. but if make sure you have the
top portion of mutil.ini that has the true/false statements and other
basic functions prior to each stanza. So for example, in your file
you've created, you'd want the post text file set to TRUE, and all of
the text below as such, plus what you had pasted within your last
message:

; list of functions to perform on startup


PostTextFiles = true

; Set this value if you want to run mutil from a directory other
than
; the root Mystic directory or the mysticbbs environment
variable:

; mystic_directory=c:\mystic\mystic.dat

; If no directory is specified in the logfile name, mUtil will
attempt
; to use the configured LOGS directory from in Mystic's
configuration.
; Comment out to disable logging completely.

logfile=mutil.log

; If set to TRUE (*HIGHLY* recommended for MUTIL) then it will
write the
; log file in increments of 8KB at a time. If set to FALSE it will
write
; each individual line as it is logged. This will significantly
reduce
; MUTIL performance if set to FALSE.

logcache=true

; Level 1 = basic
; Level 2 = verbose
; Level 3 = debug
;
; Note that the loglevel can also be set in a specific stanza and
that value
; will override the value defined here only for that specific stanza

loglevel=3

; logfile time stamp. defaults to NNN DD HH:II:SS if not set
here
;logstamp = YYYYHHMMHHIISS

; Log roller type:
; 0 = Do not roll log files
; 1 = Roll by number of files/filesize
; 2 = Roll by number of days

logtype = 2

; number of log files to keep (0 to disable log rolling)
maxlogfiles = 31

; size of each log file in kilobytes
maxlogsize = 1500

[PostTextFiles]

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

If you have 1 file, you are trying to post to more then one base, then
message bases would be set to whatever number of bases you are posting
to.

If it's more then 1 file, then files are set to whatever number you are setting.

Then, as you have set up, you would copy and paste this below ...

file1_name = joesad.txt
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

With the new file base ID and or file name.

In addition, as you have it set, it would assume your file is within
the mystic root directory. If not, either move the file to the \mystic directory, and or state the directory location of the file.

Hope this helps

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

That's the part I was missing...

I didn't copy the top part... the part that enables the process...

BTW... if you know how to fix this.... I just upgraded and I'm getting this error when I log in... it's the Bulletin program...

MYSTIC 001 MPL Version mismatch: [MPX 112A43] / [MPX 112A46](bulletin)

How do I fix this??

Thanx

Doug, thanx for responding ... I figured it out... When making my new postad.ini file I extracted the post txt section and I did not include the header of the mutil.ini...

Anyway... it works now... :)
