I looked at this notion a few years back and couldn't find a way with FastEcho. 
 The closest method would be to not have FE create file-attach netmails, and 
use a BATch or similar script to look for and move created ARCmail files for 
nodes to fileboxes (see paragraph "6.2.4 - FastEcho Toss -F", page 114 in the 
FE manual).

Frankly, I cannot remember why I would have wanted to do it, as FE's BSO 
tossing is as good as it gets without the need for filebox-type 
operation.[shrug]  Binkley, binkD, Argus and Radius have worked fine with FE, 
here.

If anyone asks me about such things as filebox operation I usually recommend 
they try/use FMail.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
