  • How to delay Mystic sending messages?

    From Nicola Mettimano@2:335/601 to All on Tue Jan 24 23:38:22 2023
    Hello, on the Mystic wiki i can read:
    "Create semaphore
    This setting determines wheter or not Mystic will create semaphore files immediately when saving a message, or if it will wait for the user to logoff.
    This can be a powerful tool to enable messages to be sent within 60 seconds of a user saving a message on your BBS.
    When combined with a MUTIL option for [ExportEchomail] "skip_online".
    If this value is set to false, Mystic will toss new messages posted by them even if they are currently logged into the BBS."

    Wher i can set waiting time like 60 seconds or 120?

    as far as I know you can't but if you want more time, then I'd suggest change your setting to create semaphor when user logs off.

    You can choose to trigger the send event semaphores immediately, or after the user logs off. There is no specific time to wait, and I am not sure what the use case for that would be.

    ... Help! I can't find the "ANY" key.

    Thanks for your reply.
    It actually seemed strange to me but this is written on Mystic WIKI....
