Easily enough done.
My areafix works rather nice for this. Set a unique letter key for the aera
group, i.e. P. THen assign downlinks the p flag without the cap.
when sqafix writes node addresses to echoarea lines all will have the -x flag
before the addresses telling squish not to accept inbound mail in that area.
OTher than doing it through your areafix I don't know of a way to do it
globally.

Iirc the feed doesn't have the -x, but other addresses do.
An example:
I set a readonly echo, i.e. whitehouse to have the R flag. IN my default node
groups everyone has the r flag, but, note the difference. THat's the easiest
way to do it, if you have an areafix program that will do that for you.
OTherwise whenever you add a downlink to that echo you'll have to manually edit
squish.cfg to place the -x before that downlink's entry in the echoarea line.
Regards,
Richard
