  • netmail not being deleted

    From nelgin@1:103/705 to Digital Man on Fri May 30 12:34:41 2025
    Not sure if this is a bug or a setting.

    I sent a netmail from my point and received a reply but both messages are still in /sbbs/netmail.

    I have "kill netmail after sent" set to yes. Am I missing something?

    Those messages most likely weren't created by SBBS. If you include the fmsgdump -ctrl option, the PID line should give a clue.

    That is likely a true statement since they were to and from my point. Am I supposed to delete these manually then?
