Relax Mike, Dale was grasping at straws here, he had been under the gun so 
long, cant say I blame him for grasping fer straws..

Here is my NOBOGUS.CFG

=== Cut ===

The forcedpath is the bulk of this trap, it says that messages coming to me 
from those nodes have to meet a criteria like so:

Forcedpath = 10/3

Means that all traffic with 10/3 in the pathline that comes to me, 10/3 must be 
the last node in the pathline.

You also note that I am set to ignore certain echoes, in some cases its because 
of special distribution arrangements, or like in Z1REGCON where all of us link 
to the Z1C for it, 10/3 in this case could never be the last node in the path.

Forcedpath = 379/1 to 106/1

In this setting, messages that have 379/1 in the pathline must be followed by 
106/1, they can be anywhere in the pathline but the latter must follow the 
former, enhance this by FORCEDPATH = 106/1, which is what I do makes sure that 
379/1 is one hop removed from me.

Any other variation and it is a dupe loop.

Interestingly enough the cfg file I posted above is my ENTIRE nobogus.cfg, 
doesnt contain the neat and stricter that Dale uses.
