Commented out    route hold file x:xxx/xxx  in route.cfg for all the below


First test:
Used   ForwardTo File x:xxx/xxx      as the only "Forward" type command in 
Squish.cfg.

Result
Squish logged:
  ! 23 Jul 13:10:14 SQSH File attach `D:\BT\In\I' does not exist!

in \out dir found:
compressed mail pkt for node - looked normal
..hlo file to send that pkt - looked normal

another .hlo file to send file attach - text inside :  D:\BT\In\I
Which appears to begin with a valid referance to my inbound dir of D:\BT\In
and appears to begin to append the orginal senders path of I:\xxxNET\
which is in his netmail file attach that was routed through my system.

    ===

Second Test:

commented out ForwardTo File   command from previous test

Used  ForwardFrom  File  x:xxx/xxx  as the only   Forward  command in 
Squish.cfg

Result:

Same as above


   ====

Third test

commented out ForwardFrom File from second test

Restored ForwardTo File x:xxx/xxxx  command

Restored ForwardTo World     command, as this is necessary for normal netmail 
routing service.

After squash,
Result:
in \out dir
found normal compressed pkt containing the netmail
found .hlo file to send the netmail - looked normal
found nothing else.   attached file was ignored.  Same for Squish log

Interesting, eh?   :)

Curiosity question:  Squish does process Squish.cfg from the beginning to the 
end, correct?

Note that they were in this order for that third test.
ForwardTo File x:xxx/xxx
ForwardTo World 




Thanks
