Does anyone know how to mark an echo in crashmail as pass-thru? There
is some mention in the documentation of allowing for areas requested by downlinks to be pass-thru, but there does not appear to be any example
of an area that is actually set up as such.

Magicka uses Crashmail so Apam may have some thoughts. If I find
anything out I'll let you know also. :)

As crashmail started life on the amiga, and the config is the same structure I >have this when setting a
area passthrough via crashprefs (Using FSX_BBS as an example):
AREA FSX_BBS 21:1/195 P/T "/home/bbs/msg/FSX_BBS"
EXPORT %21:1/100
DESCRIPTION "FSX BBS Chat"

Well, I wound up not needing crashmail II proper (decided to go a different route for Moe's), but I am also using magimail, a crashmail derivative, with Magicka. Unfortunately, the P/T option did not work
with it (it abends with a config file error), but it will accept
KEEPDAYS. I will keep an eye on that for a few days and see if it at least keeps those message areas trimmed back.
KEEPDAYS 30
KEEPNUM 200
Set on this machine, and it looks like the bases are set to 200 total messages sofar.

Thanks for that tip! I had been wondering how to set a max number of messages for some of the more active echoes. Question answered. :)
