 RT> I am running LoraBBS and am trying to get IREX to work with Lora.

I'm not using either package, but your outbound setup sounds like what Binkley 
and BinkD use, so I'll comment based on that experience.

 RT> Lora uses outbound as follows:

 RT> Outbound
 RT> Outbound.001
 RT> Outbound.002
 RT> Outbound.005
 RT> Outbound.008

 RT> IREX does not send mail packet xxxxxxx.SA0 which is in 
 RT> Outbound.005 (fido).
 RT> Have not tried it with my other networks yet.

I think I see the problem.  Your primary address is in zone 5, correct?  

While I'll admit I'm in zone 1, so I haven't had to test the following, it is 
my understanding that the Outbound directory should hold the outbound packets 
for your primary address's zone.  So, in your case, you should *not* have an 
Outbound.005, and instead all files currently going in Outbound.005 should be 
in Outbound.  Now that is what I would expect for a Binkley/Squish/BinkD setup. 
 If LOraBBS (or what every your mail masher is) operates by placing in 
Outbound.005 and IREX expects stuff instead in Outbound, that might do it.  
Also, if IREX operates like BinkD, and if 5:7102/1 and 1:393/9005 are BinkP 
protocol exchanges, then that should be crash not hold -- and then you need to 
adjust your POTS mailer so it doesn't try to dial those nodes.  I handle that 
via nodelist costs variables and binkley's cost controls allowed in it's event 
file.

 RT> Should Lora be placing this mail as Crash, Hold, or whatever?

 RT> This is my LoraBBS ROUTE.CFG file

 RT> SEND-TO HOLD  5:7105/1.ALL
 RT> Route-To Normal 8:7903/10  8:ALL 
 RT> Route-To Normal 220:27/1 220:ALL
 RT> Route-To Hold 5:7102/1 2:All 3:All 4:All 5:All 6:All
 RT> Route-To Hold 1:393/9005 1:All

Good luck.....
