Does anyone know if there is some config file directive for the MUTIL ImportEchoMail stanza which allows you to specify the default List EACS for auto-created message areas?
There is not one to my knowledge as the whole EACS system was being implemented incrementally by g00r00 when 1.12 A37 came out first with a focus on echomail.
[snip]
+ The beginning of Echomail node security is here! The easiest way to think
about how this system works is to relate an Echomail node to the way
security works for a user in your BBS. Each node will have a security
level, access flags, and can be a member of many Echomail groups (up to
65000 echomail groups can be defined).
Different functions throughout the echomail system will eventually have
"Echo ACS" strings which work just like the user ACS strings that we're
familiar with. For example, you might have "Hatch File EACS" in a file
base
where you could say that you wanted only echomail nodes within a particular
group to be able to hatch files, or a particular security level or access
flag(s), or even by static echomail node ID. For example:
Hatch File EACS: g2|s255|fH|u10
The above would say that any echomail node that is a member of Echomail
group 2, OR any node that has a security level of 255 OR any Echomail node
that has flag H can hatch files to that file base. The Echomail node
with the ID of #10 can also hatch.
This is a very powerful system for managing an Echomail network, and EACS
strings will be added to various functions in the future as seen fit.

Then when A39 came out some focus was given to file bases
[snip]
+ File Bases now have an "List EACS". This Echomail ACS works identically
to the Message Base version, allowing hubs to define which nodes have
access to list, subscribe, and receive get files from an echoed file base
[snip]
..and that's where things got to..
I agree that having those equivalent switches in the [ImportEchoMail] and [FileToss] stanzas would be a good move.
But they are not there as yet.
