 ML> Ok. Based on the information above, 

 ML> 01130064.flo 

 ML> means you're trying to send a "Normal" flavoured packet to 
 ML> 3:275/100 (the "01130064" part of 01130064.flo is 3275100 
 ML> in hex, and the ".flo" part of 01130064.flo in Binkley-
 ML> style outbound filenames means Normal routed mail).

  Took me a while to figure out how you got that.   0x113 = 275 and
  0x064 = 100.  Not sure where the 3 came from.  The node the netmail
  was addressed to was 1:275/100.  That netmail was still sitting there
  tonight.  I had to readdress it using the Argus interface to make it
  get routed to 1:123/500 -- which is how my ROUTE.CFG file says should
  happen to almost all netmail.  The fact that it does not get addressed
  to 1:123/500 is the problem.

 ML> Argus should automatically send your net netmail packets 
 ML> (ie. the filename listed within the .clo file).

  Before I made Argus readdress it, I also tried to change the flavor to
  crash.  That caused Argus to attempt a poll to
  f100.n275.z1.fidonet.org.   I'm uncertain how that could have worked
  since 1:275/100 is PVT and that DNS does not exist.

 ML> Hence we would focus troubleshooting efforts on your BBS 
 ML> and Squish, in which case post the contents of your 
 ML> route.cfg file.

  My route.cfg file has a lot of standard comments in it.   Here is what
  remains after they are removed:

   Send Normal World
          Route           normal   1:123/500 1:All 2:All 3:All 4:All 5:All 
6:ALL
          Send            Crash   1:140/1
   Send     Crash   1:261/1
   Send            Crash   1:261/38
          Send            normal   1:123/500

I have tried altering the order, and changing the flavor to 1:123/500 to
crash instead of normal the two times it appears.   No effect on
behavior -- mail still gets stuck without being routed.
