Ok, I'll fix this soon.

fidonet packets have a packet origin as well as a message origin (for each message in the packet) the packet origin should be the system that sent the packet (ie, the link) where the message origin is the system that the netmail originated.

Something else is going on here, can you send me a packet like the one that got rejected so I can look at it?

Thanks,

Andrew
