Hello Rick,

 RS> Hello All!

 RS> I am in the process of moving 1:105/ to Deon George's fidohub docker
 RS> instance... I have it mostly ready to go, but before putting it online
 RS> I decided to test makenl.  It runs as it should, however hpt for one
 RS> reason or another will not pack the netmail and send it to Dallas?
 RS> Here is the output of the hpt log.  Mind you that system sends any
 RS> other netmail without any issue. You can see it sent the one netmail
 RS> but gives that error for the netmail containing node segment...?

You need a routeFile statement along with the route line in your route setup for nodes you will be sending files too. Something like thins..

routeFile <flavour> <routeVia> <target> <target> ...

I use routeFile only in cases where it is needed. I put those lines directly below the route line for the node.

If you set the message to crash you may not need a routeFile statement if it is going directly to the destination.

 Ttyl :-),

.... IBM: It may be slow, but at least it's expensive.
