Hello All!

I posted this in a sysop area as well.  Since October last year I get areafix messages on the hub for an area "Eric" that cannot be found.  The weird part is each time I get the message its from a different node that I host?  Even at times comes from my own BBS's, I am posting a typical areafix message I get below.

My questions are first and foremost how do I kill it and keep it from circulating? Also is there a areafix log I can turn on in congig? In my hpt.log it only shows the netmail getting packed and tossed I get no other information on it.

I have talked to every node that I host and noone has made this request at all.

Area                                                Status
