    Hello folks, like subject, is there a way to auto-post every a specific day of the month rules/policy on mystic?


    Yes there is ...
    Creat a .ini file in the root of your mystic directory .. example... autopost.ini and then a autopost.txt (Note the .txt file is going to be the message you want to post)

    Put the below information in the .ini file
    _____________
    [General]

    ; list of functions to perform on startup

    PostTextFiles = true

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

    [PostTextFiles]

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

    totalfiles = 1

    ; This defines one file which will be posted to the message base. Each
    ; file should be prefixed with file# where # is a number from 1 to
    ; totalfiles.
    ;
    ; 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 destination
    ; address

    file1_name = autopost.txt
    file1_baseidx = 74 (Change this, this is going to be the MGS Base Number)
    file1_from = Argos (This is your Alias)
    file1_to = All
    file1_subj = Rocket Town BBS - NASA Space Coast
    file1_addr = 21:1/203 (This is your node number)
    file1_delfile = false

    Then in your mystic event editor create a "shell" event and your shell command is going to be .... mutil autopost.ini

    All done!

    Yes. I do it with SFNet. I believe it is explained in the WIKI.
