If FMail supports fileboxes:

Fileboxes per link can be used in BSO mode where anything put in said
directory (usually manually) would be sent to the link. This is how many
people have worked with door game leagues that create netmail attach files
that need to be sent to the hub, using BSO.

So in Sean's case, if he knows where this/these netmail attach files are
supposed to be going, he can setup a filebox for that link, and manually move
the file into that directory so it gets sent the the proper system.

On the other hand, if they do not /need/ to get sent anywhere, then they are
being created for no reason, and can be deleted.

Probably not the same situation, but the reasoning applies still:

When I ran a door game league, I would get those in my inbound all the time
(door game outbound maintenance would create them, and the link would send the
entire contents of their game's outbound directory which included the netmail
attach files, but are unnecessary when the hub uses BSO). I just had a script
setup to delete them when the game packets were processed, as there was no use
for them.

Regards,
Nick
