AFAIK there is no such thing as $toarea in filter.pl. So if you did not
define $toarea using $area, 'defined $toarea' is always false. You have to
use $area here.

Here is an excerpt from doc/perlhooks.rus:

filter() is called when tossing new messages
The following variables are defined:
       variable   alias
       $fromname $sfrom - the sender's name
       $fromaddr $from  - the sender's address
       $toname   $sto   - the recipient's name
       $toaddr   $to    - the recipient's address for netmail or undef
       $area            - area for echomail, otherwise - undef
       $secure          - current message has been received via SecureInbound
       $subject  $subj  - the message subject
       $text            - the message text (with kludges)
       $date            - the date of the message, the variable has two types:
                          if used as a number, unixtime
                          if used as a string, the format is fts-1
       $attr            - attributes as a number
       $pktfrom         - from whom the current pkt has been received
    Return:
       $kill = 1        - delete the message
       $change = 1      - change fields in accordance with the variables
                          listed above (including changing kludges automatically)
                           (except for $area, $secure, $pktfrom :)
       If a non-empty string is returned, the message is placed in the badArea

It is not recommended to use attributes and date / time in a string form.
