That's correct, FMail doesn't touch those.
It's kind of historic, because in Frontdoor mode, frontdoor itself
handled those netmails. It was never implemented for BSO mode.

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.

It is makenl that I am trying to sort out. It doesn't, afaik, use
boxes

I call htick directly from the script that generates the AmigaNet
nodelist with makenl. So there is no need for any file attach netmails
or a tosser to be involved.

If FMail supports fileboxes:
It does, but they shouldn't be used in combination with BSO/binkd,
because it bypasses all the lock/busy file logic, between the mailer and tosser, that is normally happening in a BSO directory structure. So you
have to make sure that putting files in a filebox is done atomically. So
use 'move' from a directory on the same partition, and not 'copy'! ;-)
Fileboxes per link can be used in BSO mode where anything put in
said directory (usually manually) would be sent to the link.
I'm aware of that. And fileboxes can be defined in the binkd config for
each link (I use that), while it supports the normal BSO file logic at
the same time. If that is what Sean wants/need, it is a good option, and
you don't need FMail/any-tosser, to be involved. Just don't use netmail
file attaches.

files are supposed to be going, he can setup a filebox for that

Yes, in the binkd config.

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.
