Howdy,

 de>> /etc/ftn/net/fsxnet/areas:netmailarea FSX_NETMAIL
 de>> /fido/makenl/21/netmail -b Msg -a 21:3/100

 Av> So only fsx is set to Msg base type but the others all seem to be JAM so I'm picking only fsx is getting that makenl treatment you mentioned?

No, micronet and sportnet as well...

 de>> 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

 Av> ..and that's due to some other scripting you have in place - right?

That's all due to my perl filter which is part of the hptperlfilter /usr/local/tools/filter.pl

 de>> 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

 Av> ..and these netmail areas are also used by you to reply to any netmails sent
 Av> to your HUB addresses? I can understand why you may place them as sub dirs in makenl... I'm not sure I will but rather place them as sub dirs in a /msgs/nmail folder instead I think... not 100% sure.. will keep pondering.

I could reply, yes - but I dont (since the bounce tells folks where to send their message - and it secretly sends it to my BBS anyway in a private echomail area - so I reply from Alterant).

 de>> Filefix messages are "posted" to the robots area with my filter in
 de>> husky's config file "hptperlfile     /usr/local/tools/filter.pl"
 Av> how is this file run? is it each time on incoming toss etc. can called within
 Av> a .sh file somehow?

filter.pl is executed for every packet processed, and can do something before the packet is stored, or after it is stored, or even after the onward packet is created.
