 MP> all points should only have to poll their boss node (in my case
 MP> 340/201) instead of 340/201's uplink

this is true... what software is 340/201's uplink running?
if it is what i think it is, 340/201's uplink needs to update to the latest version of their software as soon as possible... if they are running what i think they are running, there were two defects that were fixed in the last week or so that lead this problem...

so two things need to be done and then things will start working properly...

  1. 340/201's uplink needs to update their software first.

  2. 340/201's points need to poll that uplink system at
     least once more after that system updates its software
     to gather their netmail that is stuck there.

once those two steps are done, proper netmail routing should just happen...

FWIW: this is true for ALL systems running that BBS software... the defect has been in place for a while and only just discovered, reported, and fixed... i'm specifically not naming the software in question but i'm running it here... that should be the only clue needed ;)
