    smbutil n/sbbs/temp/mail.out -d -tareafix -nx:xxx/x -sxxxxxxxx -f"Nigel Reed" /sbbs/data/mail

    What am I missing? It still creates the netmail as from "Sysop" rather than from "Nigel Reed".

    "-fNigel Reed"

    Also, postmsg.js is a preferred method of auto-posting/mailing.

    Erm, no that didn't work.

    smbutil n/sbbs/temp/mail.out -d -tareafix -nx:xxx/x -sxxxxxxxx "-fNigel Reed" /sbbs/data/mail

    Still produced

    2018-06-25 04:47:55 Created NetMail (1.msg) from Sysop (1:124/5016) to areafix (1:396/45), attr: 0181, subject:xxxxxx

    I'll try postmsg.js as suggested.

    Maybe that's an old netmail message that keeps getting re-exported?
