True, but Irex won't necessarily send the packet out if it's flavored HOLD,
even if it's there in the outbound. 

HOLD prevents the mailer from sending it POTS, and that's why I told him it
should be flavored as HOLD if he's using Irex to send it, but you can also 
flavor it with the Route keyword as well as the Send keyword, and one
advantage to using the Route keyword is that you can then route further node
numbers to that address, like so...

Route Hold 1:3613/2 1:3613/all

In order to get Irex to send a packet which you've flavored as HOLD, you have
to first ensure that "Send mail on hold" is enabled under "Rex's Behavior"
in the Rex config program. If you don't have that set, changing the flavor to
Hold will cause Irex to ignore it, and it will not be sent. Route normal
or Route crash /would/ still allow Irex to send it if "Send mail on hold" was
not enabled, but BinkleyTerm would keep trying to find an address in the
nodelist to send it to. Since it wouldn't find one for a point number, it
wouldn't send it. 

You can also route mail that's on hold using Irex, in the ROUTE.REX file,
like so:

route-to 1:3613/2 1:3613/*

This will route a packet on HOLD, addressed to 1:3613/1275 via 1:3613/2 for
me.

The best way to do it is Use the Route keyword in Squish, and using that,
flavor it as HOLD, and set Irex to "Send mail on Hold".
