A semaphore is a file created in the mystic/semaphore directory. When echomailis received by the bink server Mystic will create an echomail.in file in thesemaphore directory. Likewise when you post a message in a message base Mysticwill create an echomail.out file.
If you have an event monitor for these semaphores (I believe Mystic
checks thedirectory once a minute) then you can have things run more often, almost inreal time.
e.g.
You post a message here in this message base. Mystic creates mystic/semaphore/echomail.out
You have an event looking for echomail.out which runs:
mutil mailout.ini|mis poll send
The kill after line deletes that semaphore so the event won't run continuously.
So the way I have Mystic setup, each time I post a message it's sent out usually within a minute, rather than waiting for an event to run every
so oftento collect mail and send it out.

I read this fine the first time, but then I saw proofread carefully...
