I'm talking about the GateRoute statement, whitch makes failures then you try 
to use it under Linux.

Yeah but the problem is that i don't want it to be sent directly. I want it to 
be sent routed to 2:2/<zone>, and afterwoods from the zonegate routed to the 
node in the other zone.

Instead of routing it to the node in the other zone. 

Well if i wonna send you a netmail to you via the zonegate it goes so.

2:236/100 -> ... -> 2:2/1 -> ... -> 1:143/41

else it goes

2:236/100 -> ... -> 1:143/41

 BJ> Typically, I route all zone gate mail via 1:140/1 with a line like:

Yeah, but it's not routing via a zonegate it's routed via your boss.

....

 BJ> ROUTE CRASH 1:1/4 4:ALL
 BJ> ROUTE CRASH 1:1/5 5:ALL
 BJ> ROUTE CRASH 1:1/6 6:ALL

Then i'm not able (i'm am but i won't) poll 2:2/<zone> with my mail, your 
statements says that. I wonna route them to my boss but VIA zonegate 2.

 BJ> ROUTE CRASH 2:2/4 4:ALL
 BJ> ROUTE CRASH 2:2/5 5:ALL
 BJ> ROUTE CRASH 2:2/6 6:ALL

That's right, but it won't work, because Z2C isn't holding mail here.

....

I guess you miss understood zonegating.

Huh? The gateroute keyword is _netmail_.

G'day mr Jones.
