Hello Geri,

 Al>> pktinfo tells me that the fromusername field is empty so the
 Al>> message header is wrong. It is a corrupt packet.

 GA> I would suggest that fix the tosser so if that happens it defaults to
 GA> ALL.

Every tosser in use would need to be updated to do that and I don't think that will happen.

Packets are not very forgiving. They are mostly message text but they are binary files and all those bits & bytes must be correct or the show is off.

The best solution is to create those packets correctly in the first place or they will fail downstream differently for different tossers.

 Ttyl :-),
