Generally any area will have at least one export link which is normally your 
mail feed.  If you don't want to export at all then don't put any nodes in the 
Export to line.

When you create new mail you'll be using FE to scan/pack mail to go out, 
normally FE will try and use the ECHOMAIL.BBS, NETMAIL.BBS, ECHOMAIL.JAM, & 
NETMAIL.JAM files to speed up processing.  These files are normally found in 
the Messagebase folder as defined in FEsetup.  If the files don't exist for 
whetever reason then FE scans through all areas to ensure there's nothing left 
to go out.

Have a look at the FE Documents chapter 6.3 for more detailed information, and 
the command line options you can pass.

Best regards
