The routing is part of the schedule because multiple mail events can each be defined with their own routing table. That is why I believe it does not make sense to have the routing table in its own menu option.

The DBRIDGE.UFM file does not tell BinkD to place calls; the D'Bridge mailer manipulates the .FLO files in the C:\DB\DATA\domain directories.
BinkD senses those changes and acts accordingly. DBRIDGE.UFM is created by BinkD to tell D'Bridge to check for and Unpack/Forward any received Mail.

I discovered that DosBox caches the file-table of the host OS (at least on Windows). What that means is files that are created outside of Dosbox will not be seen by any program running in Dosbox unless you quit and reload. I believe some Sysop made a custom-compile of Dosbox to resolve this but I am not sure. I am not sure if this behavior happens on Linux.

If you issue a "rescan" it will clear the cache and refresh everthing. You can add it to batch files no problem.

You mean "rescan" is a native command in Dosbox?

Ok. I had understood it backwards

Yes, I think you could clear the cache using rescan command whitout
restarting dosbox

Understanding the schedule:

If i want to poll every hour to my boss node, should I create all 24
events for that node or can i create a unique event that poll every hour?

thanks!

You may find its easier to script a job that runs the command-line program DBUTIL for polling.

ie. a Dosbox that calls C:\DB\DBUTIL NORMAL POLL 1:229/426

Thanks for answering for me Fernado! I'm in the middle moving and my ability to reply to things is somewhat limited! :D
