    This actually turned out to be pretty easy.

    I did some poking around on the synchro.net wiki page. It had been a while since I had added a file area so I forgot that you can set
    retention periods. So, the solution for passthru file echoes in
    synchronet is to tell tickit that I
    *do* want to save it to a file area, and then set that file area up
    with a retention of a month.

    Then just add the delfiles utility to a nightly script.

    Sweet! I'm Fido RC10 and have a couple of big file areas I don't have an interest in keeping on my disk. I thought I'd have to wait for a tickit solution. This should work perfectly.

    I thought it sounded like something Synchronet should be able to handle. I just needed to think about it a little differently, beyond tickit functionality.
