    Hello, Jim!

    Wrong window. You were supposed to write a NetMail and not an echomail. Now you have to trash your password which is in the subject.

    Best Regards, Nil

    wtf... thats actually a script I use for posting those to netmail.

    Why would you need to use a script to do a simple action?

    I'm curious to find out what the heck changed.

    Rotate your secret asap and just don't run that piece of junk anymore.

    I was wondering where my reply was

    I was about to fake it out but today is way beyond the April fools' day already.

    P.S. What is that BASH echotag about?
    Bash as a shell? Bash as a scripting language? Bash as to work hard at something or a to produce a quick result like a hackathon (we do it often at work)?
    Ah, I see. It's a social gathering. That would be too much British.

    Best Regards, Nil

    You need to send your AreaFix requests in NetMail. I would suggest contacting your uplink and arranging to change your password as well.

    Thanks Andrew,

    Already fixed the issue.. it was with a script that wasn't switching to netmail before starting an areafix password. Password also changed at the hub.

    Thanks,
