After a first look at libareafix I think I got a nice solution. The
interesting point is that processAreaFix(s_message *msg, s_pktHeader
*pktHeader, unsigned force_pwd) is called with force_pwd = 1 when run via
command line and = 0 when scanning for netmail addressed to areafix.
Currently force_pwd is only used to bypass the checks for a valid link and
the areafix password, but it is not passed on. The idea is to also check if
the link's AKA is one of the nodes's local AKAs and pass a flag (bitmask
with a FROM_ME and CMD_LINE bit) to processcmd(). In processcmd() that flag
may be passed on to the actual command functions like delete().

Now I got a question about how to deal with the bypassing of the
subscription check. Should the subscription check bypassed only if
"~echotag" is run as shell command and the AKA is my local one.
Or should I also allow the bypassing for a local netmail from me to my
areafix (secured by a PW of course)? 

Regards,
Markus
