Howdy,

OK, here is my netmail config:

root@fidohub:/# grep -i netmail /etc/ftn/config /etc/ftn/net/*/areas
/etc/ftn/config:netmailarea netmail           /fido/msgbase/netmail               -b Jam
/etc/ftn/config:netmailarea robots            /fido/msgbase/robots                -b Jam -p 30
/etc/ftn/net/fsxnet/areas:netmailarea FSX_NETMAIL /fido/makenl/21/netmail      -b Msg -a 21:3/100
/etc/ftn/net/happynet/areas:#netmailarea HPY_NETMAIL /fido/msgbase/happynet/netmail          -b Jam -a 637:1/103
/etc/ftn/net/micronet/areas:netmailarea MIN_NETMAIL /fido/makenl/618/netmail          -b Msg -a 618:510/1
/etc/ftn/net/sportnet/areas:netmailarea SPT_NETMAIL /fido/makenl/24/netmail          -b Msg -a 24:24/1
/etc/ftn/net/videotex/areas:#netmailarea VTX_NETMAIL /fido/msgbase/videotex/netmail          -b Jam -a 516:516/0

Where I dont have a netmailarea defined for a network, the netmail falls into /fido/msgbase/netmail. (Actually in theory nothing would flow into there at all, because I have the hub "unattended" and if you netmail anybody at the hub, you'll get a "bounce message" saying "nobody at the hub". But what does end up there are the pings and any messages from husky about areas being autocreated - which I need to re-direct...)

For makenl to work, it creates a MSG netmail in the "messages" path of makenl.ctl, so with this area configured as a "-b Msg" for husky, it sees those outgoing messages in hpt pack and sends them out. (I have a makenl.ctl for each zone in it's own subdirectory, and in that subdirectory is a "netmail" area.)

Incoming messages to areafix make it to the robots area on receipt (and are actioned immediately with hpt toss).

Filefix messages are "posted" to the robots area with my filter in husky's config file "hptperlfile     /usr/local/tools/filter.pl"

    } elsif ($toname =~ /^(area|file)fix$/i) {
      w_log('L',"Netmail: *FIX. [$fromaddr]");

      if ($attr & $MSG_RRCT) {
        putMsgInArea('BADMAIL',$fromname,$toname,$fromaddr,$toaddr,$subject,$date,($MSG_SENT | $MSG_READ | $MSG_PRIVATE),
          "hpt> $toname request with RRC\r" . $text, 0);

        if ($DEBUG_MODE) {
          return '';
        }

        $kill = 1;
        return "$toname request with RRC";
      }

      if (lc($toname) eq 'filefix')
      {
        putMsgInArea('robots',$fromname,$toname,$fromaddr,$toaddr,$subject,$date,($MSG_PRIVATE),
          $text, 0);
        w_log('L',"Netmail: *FIX. Copied to robots [$fromaddr]");

        $newhtick = 1;

        $kill = 1;
      }

      # Messages to *fix are OK
      return '';

   }
