Echomail Areas Closing ======================

Today I am announcing changes to the echomail areas carried on

fsxNet.

The following echomail areas are to be retired and will close down effective 22 Feb 2025 (New Zealand time)

FSX_ENG ENiGMA 1/2 BBS Support/Dev FSX_MAG Talisman BBS Support/Dev FSX_LFE Lifestyle FSX_MUSIC Music FSX_SPACE
Space/Astronomy FSX_STA Echomail + Network Stats FSX_FIL File Announcements

I'm still getting messages from FSX_STA and FSX_FIL.

Did you miss the "effective 22 Feb 2025" part above? ;-)

Yes Dan, I did!

Hey Avon!

On Wed, Feb 19 2025 20:41:44 +1300, you wrote ..

Pretty sure the 22nd is when they will be shut off. So there will
still be messages until that date. If you want, you can disable
those areas via your hub's areafix.

It's like you read my mind :)

Either that, or it is the only viable option. :)

Regards,
Nick

And I ended up using areafix to disable them as suggested.

Yes you will be until either you opt to de-link your BBS from your HUB using Areafix netmail to the HUB, or the HUB admin does this for you in a few days time :) The change hasn't happened yet but there's nothing stopping you to opt out of the feed for the soon to be defunct echomail areas now :)

Thanks, and done.

Noob here on this.

How does one do this via areafix? I gather its a netmail but not sure beyond that.

Thanks.

Some areafixes vary, but if you sent a netmail to areafix with the
password in the subject line and the command %HELP in the body of the
message you'll get a response listing all of the commands available.

Hint: It's probably -<areaname> to remove an area, +<areaname> to add
one.

Send a netmail to Areafix to the hub address with the subject of your areafix password, then in the body put the below 2 lines:
%HELP
---
