For some time I used BinkD moving files (created by FastEcho) from
FrontDoor queue to directories in a .bat with mail2dir:
M2D110.ZIP 306597 27-Mar-1998
MAIL2DIR 1.10 - Move mail to spool
directory. A program that can move all
mail that is waiting for a specified
system to a spool directory. Useful to
retrieve mail for a point over a
network, to prepare mail for pickup via
FTP, etc. Support for FrontDoor 2.25 and
later, as well as earlier versions.
DOS, OS/2 and Win32 version.
Today I'm using IRex that has better integration with FD and don't
need this trick anymore (they share the same queue).
