Hey Sean!

Correct, and I mentioned that you can manually move stuff around. Your mailer,
will most likely use fileboxes.

In this case, I run a bash script called "region11.sh" that processes the
nodelist, and then moves the files from makenl's outbound directory to a binkd
filebox I setup for Z1C. This is where you would intervene and /not/ move the
1.msg it creates, but rather delete it instead.

Or, if you move both the nodelist segment and the 1.msg to that filebox, both
will disappear from your system and the person you sent them to can deal with
them. In my case, Z1C handles the 1.msg just fine (probably by deleting it). ;)

Or, you can skip creating a script, and use the 'outpath' variable in makenl's
config to point directly to the filebox of the person you're sending your
segment to.

There's a few options to get done what you're trying to do here.

Regards,
Nick
