Yes, this 2nd staging area is just a temporary outbound in terms of hpt. So
since you use hpt you already have it.

You don't have to move to temporary outbound the mail destined to BSO.

You don't have to enlarge your partitions or have a faster machine. When you do
the first move, the files occupy the same extent as they do in your present
scheme but just the filename is in a different directory. The second move does
not change the occupied size and it is fast because the file contents is not
moved. It is the file "passport" (filename and some other technical info) that
is moved to a different directory.

So the only problem is your tool. If you have its sources you may change it. If
you haven't then you may use some scripting language (cmd/4DOS/4OS2, you name
it) to make the second move or replace your tool with the new script
completely.

BTW I don't understand why you need any special tool to move mail to outbound.
You use hpt, don't you? And hpt can correctly move mail to fileboxes via
temporary outbound.
