generally speaking, a message has the LOCAL attribute when the message is
created by a local user... this can be done by manually writting while logged
into the bbs or by uploading the message via offline mail...

the LOCAL attribute is used by the mail tosser to know which messages it can
scan out when it processes outbound mail... the LOCAL attribute is generally
cleared from the packed message but left alone in the live message still in the
message base...

TL;DR

the LOCAL attribute separated locally written messages from imported messages
so the tosser knows which ones it can scan out...
