4. 

There are two (2) different ways the remote user can kill messages.  The first is give in 
the example below: 

 

a.  To kill a message in a particular slot, the remote user would type: 
 

K##  <ENTER> 

Where the ## is the message number the remote user wants to kill. 
 
The Pactor Mailbox will respond with: 

This is whether or not the message flag is set to an N or a Y.  Note that the remote users may 
only kill messages which are addressed them.  The originator can kill any message that he/she 
originated.  The local SYSOP can kill any or all messages in the Mailbox. 

b.  You can perform a Global Kill on a group of messages that are under the same 

callsign.  To perform a Global Kill on a group of messages, the following conditions 
apply: 

I. 

All messages must have been read and the message flag must be a Y. 

II.  The callsign contained in the  MYcall must be the same as the callsign in the 

MYcall command. 

If the above conditions are met then all the user must type: 

K  <ENTER> 

This will go out to Mailbox, then the messages with the message flags set to Y and all of the 
proper callsigns will be killed.  The Mailbox will respond back to the remote user with all 
message numbers killed during the Global Kill process. Also the Mailbox prompt will be 
given again.  The Mailbox will update the "bytes free" indicator when the messages are 
killed.  The local SYSOP cannot perform a Global Kill.  The SYSOP must individually kill 
any messages. 
 
5. 

The remote user or local SYSOP can List messages from the Mailbox. In order to do 
this first the Mailbox prompt must be obtained by either a connection to the Mailbox or 
through the local SYSOP command.  Please type the following to List messages from 
the Mailbox: 

L  <ENTER>
