Yes. And the init-fidonet script enables those timed events for you, automatically.

SBBSecho is the utility that does this. It's called a "tosser" (or tosser/scanner or EchoMail program). SBBSecho is normally run via the FIDOIN and FIDOOUT timed events (which are also triggered via semaphore file, e.g. from your FTN mailer, e.g. BinkIT).

That's definitely unexpected. This sounds similar to your SEXYZ problem. Again, I suggest updating your version of SBBSecho to the lateset and greatest and let us know if the problem persists.
