There are no parameters, because you are having an external tosser handle all
mail tossing. D'Bridge would only manage building the Queue in this case for
actually getting things transferred out.
The tosser must specifically support the D'Bridge outgoing Queue, or it must
create "Arcmail" attachments, which are Netmail *.MSG files with the Arcmail
bundles as attachments (ie. in the subject-line with attributes Kill/Sent,
Kill File). When the tosser is finished, D'Bridge should be told to rescan the
Queue via. *R or the creation of the dummy file DBRIDGE.RSN (ReScanNow)
When a tosser uses Arcmail mode, the outgoing Arcmail bundles *MUST NOT* be
placed in the D'Bridge Queue or Packets directory.
Be sure D'Bridge is configured for external tosser mode by going to
Config-Packet/Mail Control, Inbound Mail Handling, External.
I cannot provide tech support for HPT or Info-Zip's Unzip.exe program; you may
wish to check in that echo. I suspect you will be asked to confirm the mail is
actually being received and sitting in the Inbound directory as well as show
log snippets etc.
