  • routed netmail from a script?

    From Dean Lodge@1:220/6 to All on Wed Oct 14 18:25:08 2026
    Is there a way to post a routed netmail from a script, without a logged-in user? MUTIL PostTextFiles ignores file#_addr on a netmail base (destination
    ends up 0:0/0), and putting name@addr in file#_to doesn't set the destination either. Is there a command-line way to run the MX text-file post menu command, or an MPL approach that works from cron?

    This should be easy enough to create with AI! Just use the jam message area file prefix and let AI write a netmail with command line options including
    file to send, to, from, subject, destination and origin address!
