 FL> $toarea would be your netmail area.

I've seen script examples that checks !defined($toarea), and send it over to
the netmail function, else, send it to the echomail function.

That said, I tried a few things so far to forward netmail sent TO 1:135/300 and
TO Eric Renfro, to forward it on to 1:135/371. The result I got from that from
the logs is:

6 03:05:46  PerlFilter: NetMail from Eric Renfro 1:135/371 to Eric Renfro
1:135/371: 1
J 03:05:46  Badmail reason: Rejected by perl filter (AREA: no areatag)

The script lines in sub filter were:

if (!defined $toarea && $toaddr eq "1:135/300" &&
$toname eq "Eric Renfro" {
  $toaddr = "1:135/371";
  $area = "NETMAIL";
  $change = 1;
}

(I'm about to test that again with a $toarea instead of $area, to see if that
was the issue, but I tried many things).

A secondary option, but I haven't yet actually gotten to it yet, was to have a
post() function that can essentially re-post a new message with the same
contents, as I'd seen in vtrack examples. I'd just have to include some
perlmodule to provide said post() function to do that, probably rip it from the
vtrack script examples. ;)
