what software are you talking about?? without a doubt, every package that i've 
worked with over the years has always had the ability to route netmail 
differently that echomail... oh, and let's clear that little "blech" up right 
now... you cannot route echomail! it either goes to the feed or it doesn't... 
echomail is (generally) bundled and attached to a netmail message... that makes 
it a FAttach and thus not routable... netmail can be routed any old way, at any 
time, by any one...
