How would you go about posting automates messages from files to a message board, networked and all?

I'm mostly just trying to make use of boards for advertisements, and it would also be useful to post reports, stats, etc, to other boards that would be appropriate for it.

And does the file need to have any specific things, like how to specify to, subject, etc.

I'm guessing this utilizes smbutil, but correct me if I'm wrong. :)

You're correct. Follow these guidelines... http://wiki.synchro.net/util:smbutil

I've created a txt file for the advertisement and a header txt file.

Here is my command line...


SMBUTIL -ic:\sbbs\exec\ad.txt c:\sbbs\data\subs\<echotag>.shd < c:\sbbs\exec\ad.hdr

Good luck..

yeah, we use smbutil to post ads. it's pretty useful for importing a text file.

It's just a txt file with a .hdr extension so I know it's a "header".

Consists of:

Line 1: addressee
Line 2: addresser
line 3: subject

Enjoy

I've created a txt file for the advertisement and a header txt file.

Hmmm, but, how do you set the subject and to? The URL reference shows command-line arguments for that, like -t<s> and -s<s>, but your example doesn't show that at all.

You can do it either way. I just find it easier using a .txt (.hdr) file in case any changes need to be made. I run sbbsutil from a batch file so instead of constantly editing that, I'll edit the hdr file.

BTW, here is an example of my ad.hdr file:

All
Bill McGarrity
TequilaMockingbird Online!

SBBSUTIL will use that as the message header. Go to DoveNet's Advertiesment sub... you'll see my ad there and how the header looks. :)
