Ok so to make it a little crazier, we made the route file more like yours and it seemed to fix it.. When the other sysop sent me a netmail it worked, correct via line.  When I sent one, it was wrong via line, the only different between our setups was he was using golded and I was using mystic editor.  SO I installed golded on my bbs machine and it sends correct via line via golded as editor... This does not make sense right?  Netsurge had thought our route file was off and he was correct fixing it at least got it working, but now the question is how can mystic editor possibly be affecting the via line of mail that hpt packs?

I would be annoyed if it I was not happy to have something to do....
