There are these settings regarding AreaFix messages:

   3.3.4     Mgr options

   For a more extensive explanation of some of the options below, see
   also paragraph 3.8.

   Keep requests

          Do not delete AreaMgr requests after they have been
          processed.

   Keep receipts

          Do not set the KILL attribute on receipts created by
          AreaMgr.

Besides that, they are just netmails that should be treated as such. But I 
don't use a hudson area for my netmail, I keep them all as *.msg's. So I don't 
know how that would work out exactly, with a hudson netmail area. And so I 
don't use the 'import' funciton of FMail:

   4.3       Import

   Imports netmail messages destined for your system into the message
   base. A netmail board should be defined in FConfig. Whether or not
   messages to the Sysop should be imported can also be defined in
   FConfig. The /A switch tells FMail to ignore AreaMgr requests.
