  • SCFG "Kill NetMail After Sent" = "No" still kills netmail after sendin

    If I go to [E] Read/Send - E-mail, then [K] read/kill mail you have sent, I can't see the netmails I sent earlier.

    I'm assuming (maybe incorrectly) that killsent was refering to keeping netmails in the msg base so that I could see them.

    the SCFG setting controls whether the mail in mailbase (msg base) gets the KILLSENT attribute or not. That's correct. You pasted a snippet of the sbbsecho.log file with this issue however. SCFG doesn't control (much) of what SBBSecho does or does not do.

    It sounds like the echocfg->NetMail->Delete Netmail option is what were looking for (set it to "No").

    Ah yes netmails are now kept in the message base - thanks!
