  • sbbsecho option to not route netmail

    For those who run a direct network, it would be nice to have an option to have sbbsecho not create .msg files for messages in a packet destined for a foreign address.

    If I'm understanding the code correctly, if a message for a "foreign" address is in a packet, a .msg file is created for it, which gets routed and packed in the next outbound run. While I certainly want locally generated .msg files packed and sent, I don't want to forward received netmail messages if possible.

    Actually, I just realized that sbbsecho may actually be routing netmail between domains...

    So probably just don't want the .msg file exported from the packet in that case.

    Right, simplest fix. I'll open another ticket for the cross-domain forwarding. --- SBBSecho 3.31-Linux

    Looks good, but I was thinking (but not saying) that it should be a per-domain setting.
