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!
