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
