Hello Doctor!

And another option is to send the mail via a BATCH file.
You can do this after every visit to your BBS by using the DBUTIL utility.
POLL
====
The DBUTIL POLL commands adds a POLL entry to the disk-based queue.
Depending on the priority, the system will be called either immediatelyor during the next applicable mail event.
When you POLL a system,D'Bridge will call to see if you have any mail waiting.
The syntax for POLL is:
C:\DB> DBUTIL [priority] POLL <Address>
ie.
C:\DB> IMMEDIATE POLL 1:105/3
I think you were looking for this.
This email was sent using DBUTIL.
Kind regards,
Leo
