The FIDOOUT semaphore would just trigger the export (output) of message to FidoN
et using SBBSecho. If SBBSecho creates and outgoing packets or bundles, it'll to
uch its configured semaphore file, e.g. in ctrl/sbbsecho.ini
OutgoingSemaphore=../data/binkout.now
... which will in turn trigger the BINKOUT timed event that executes the FidoNet
 mailer (BinkIT, in this case). The BINKOUT has to be configured and *enabled* i
n SCFG for it run, even if the semaphore file is created/touched succesfully.

No, not related.

What about the BINKOUT and BINKPOLL timed events? They're important too (which i
s why I mentioned them before).
