B. You can perform a Global Kill on a group of messages which are under the

same callsign. To perform this two (2) conditions must be met:

i. All messages must have been read and the message flag must be a Y.

ii. The callsign contained in the MYMcall must be the same as the callsign in

the MYcall command.


If the above conditions are met then all the user must type:

K <CR>


This will go out to Mailbox, then the messages with the message flags set to Y and all of the
proper callsigns will be killed. The Mailbox will respond back to the remote user with all
message numbers killed during the Global Kill process. Also the Mailbox prompt will be
given again. The "bytes free" indicator will be updated also. The SYSOP either remote or
local can do a Global Kill. The SYSOP must individually kill any messages.

The remote user or local SYSOP can List messages from the Mailbox. In order to do
this first the Mailbox prompt must be obtained by either a connection to the Mailbox by

Mailbox:

A. From the mailbox prompt, type:

L <CR>


The Mailbox will respond with a list of currently used slots in the following format:

Slot:## t m To: From: Subject:


Where Slot## column is the number of the slot that the messages are in. The lower case t is
the Type Flag block. The lower case m is the Message Flag block. The To: column will
contain the callsign of the person who the message is addressed to. The From: column will
contain the callsign of the person who left the message. The Subject: column will contain a
brief message title.
