Are you still logged into your board?

In your .ini file check:

[ExportEchoMail]

; Do not export messages from users currently online
skip_online = false

Did you try removing the semaphores?

That was all set up correctly, I think I found the problem. There was some .bsy crap left in the outbound directories. I cleaned those up and mutil worked just fine.

I had everything running fine before I left for work this morning, I checked the Mystic bbs nad its back to giving me the same error. I saw in the logs that there was one packet that it was hanging up on and then it errors out.
All semaphores were wiped cleared also. I'll have to dig into this more
when i get home. I thought i had it fixed from a post Avon had made on a
forum about the same error. I ran "mis poll killbusy" and it cleared it up initially.

But at least IREX, Gecho and OBV/2 is still working correctly :P

There is probably some other .bsy files stuck up somewhere.. Do the following:

CD to the mystic/semaphore directory
then del *.bsy
then cd back to the mystic directory
and type mis poll killbusy

That will kill ALL the bsy semaphores and should get you back to business. You can even write a .bat file if windows to do it or a script in Linux. I used a .bat file in windows when I was running in windows, now I use a script file. Just make sure your BBS is shutdown before doing this..
