Hello Alan.

<<Following up a message from Marc Lewis to Alan Ianson about Re: No routing of point addresses. >>

 ML> With all due respect, there's something wonky about that.  Nobody
 ML> else's mail processor seems to have any problem appropriately
 ML> forwarding netmail. E.g., I now send all out-of-zone netmail to
 ML> 1:229/426. He's using D'Bridge; messages going to Z2 are delivered
 ML> promptly.  Same format - message bundle addressed to 1:229/426
 ML> containing pkts bound for various Z2 addresses - all handled w/o
 ML> problem... Or perhaps I don't properly understand what's inside
 ML> that outbound mail bundle.<?> I have never attempted to open one
 ML> and examine the contents as they're usually gone from the system in
 ML> very short order.

 ML> I will however, send netmail to one of my contacts in Z2, routed
 ML> through 229/426, but I will stop the BinkP server long enough to do
 ML> an exam of the message bundle.

I have 2 examples of the outbound message bundle contents.  The bundle was addressed to 1:229/426 for forwarding.  Here's the contents of the bundle containing 2 separate netmails for 2 separate Z2 addresses as seen by InspectA:

As you can see, although the message bundle is addressed to 1:229/426, the two packets contained therein are addressed to their respective Z2 addresses.  Both these pkts will be delivered w/o problem by the forwarding node (229/426). It's always worked like this in the past, even before 1:261/38 was my feed - - years ago.

Please, when you have the opportunity, explain why BBBS's tosser/packer has issues with this.
                                                                               Best regards,
Marc
