Subj : File echoes as passthru?

Sorry I posted this in the wrong echo the first time.

With a message echo, you can set those as passthru and the message is not
stored on your system.

With a file echo, doesn't the file have to be stored *somewhere* in order
for the subscribing nodes to pick it up and, once every node that is
subscribed has picked it up, doesn't it still just sit on your system?

A network I am in has added a file echo that could contain large files that
I don't want to keep beyond the point where any downlinks have picked the
file up, but I am not certain there is a way to automate such a process.

I know if the files exist in that nodes outbox, they get deleted, but I am
pretty sure that is not how file echo attaches work (i.e. they are not
stored in the outboxes of individual nodes).

Thanks.
