    It's done using mutil. You need to create a .ini file that tells mutil how to do bot posts.

    Here's my configuration for example.

    [General]

    ; list of functions to perform on startup

    Import_FIDONET.NA = false
    Import_MessageBase = false
    Import_FILEBONE.NA = false
    Import_FILES.BBS = false
    MassUpload = false
    GenerateTopLists = false
    GenerateAllFiles = false
    PurgeMessageBases = false
    PostTextFiles = true <-- this enable the post text function for bots
    PackMessageBases = false
    ImportEchoMail = false
    ExportEchoMail = false
    MergeNodeLists = false
    FileToss = false
    PackFileBases = false
    LinkMessages = false

    ; Set this value if you want to run mutil from a directory other than
    ; the root Mystic directory or the mysticbbs environment variable:

    ; mystic_directory=c:\mystic\mystic.dat

    ; If no directory is specified in the logfile name, mUtil will attempt
    ; to use the configured LOGS directory from in Mystic's configuration.
    ; Comment out to disable logging completely.

    logfile=mutil.log

    ; Level 1 = basic
    ; Level 2 = verbose
    ; Level 3 = debug

    loglevel=2

    ; logfile time stamp. defaults to NNN DD HH:II:SS if not set here
    ;logstamp = YYYYHHMMHHIISS

    ; Log roller type 0=roll by number of files/size 1=roll by number of days

    logtype = 0

    ; number of log files to keep (0 to disable log rolling)
    maxlogfiles = 3

    ; size of each log file in kilobytes
    maxlogsize = 1000

    ; ==========================================================================
    ; ==========================================================================
    ; ==========================================================================

    [PostTextFiles]

    ; Total number of text files to be posted. For each file there needs
    o
    ; be a file definition as show below.

    totalfiles = 4 <-- number of posts that will be made in this .ini

    ; The delfile option (if true) will remove the filename after the message
    ; is posted. The baseidx is the permanent index of the message base to
    ; post the message into (shown as Index at the top of the message base
    ; editor in Mystic's configuration. Address is the echomail
    estination
    ; address

    file1_name = vkradio.txt <-- file containing text to post
    file1_baseidx = 32 <-- permanent messagebase number to post to
    file1_from = vk3jed <-- From: name (can be anything)
    file1_to = All <-- To: name (can be anything)
    file1_subj = Join VKRadio <-- Subject
    file1_addr = 21:1/143 <-- Address to post from
    file1_delfile = false <-- whether to delete the source file or not after posting.

    file2_name = vkradio.txt
    file2_baseidx = 36
    file2_from = vk3jed
    file2_to = All
    file2_subj = Join VKRadio
    file2_addr = 801:1/9
    file2_delfile = false

    file3_name = vkradio.txt
    file3_baseidx = 15
    file3_from = vk3jed
    file3_to = All
    file3_subj = Join VKRadio
    file3_addr = 80:774/6
    file3_delfile = false

    file4_name = vkradio.txt
    file4_baseidx = 90
    file4_from = Tony Langdon
    file4_to = All
    file4_subj = Join VKRadio
    file4_addr = 3:633/410.1
    file4_delfile = false



    ... For a man of fortitude, there are no walls, only avenues.
