BTW, What stored message format is your FR> NetMail in, Squish or SDM? No, the messages are all bounced by NetMgr for a non-nodelisted address. TimEd has noting to do with it. Again, let me emphasize, NO OTHER system other than Synchronet's mail system has any kind of problem whatsoever. I have a feeling, but this may be off in left field since I'm not a programmer, that NetMail, unlike EchoMail which is unaffected by these anomalous @MSGID lines, has some restriction, perhaps like line length or permitted characters that gets fouled by the addition of the xxxx@1:999/9999 (example only) to the @MSGID line. Would that I were a programmer and/or knew the specific differences between NetMail and EchoMail @MSGID line requirements, but I don't. To answer your questions about the storage format for NetMail, it is in .MSG format - that's the one and only area that doesn't store in Squish format. I REALLY don't think that Squish is at fault. NEVER had this kind of problem until they (Synchronet) stated adding those extraneous characters to that line. I am at a complete loss as to what to do. I've written to the author of Synchronet, but he's adamant that Squish is wrong and his program isn't. Rubbish. Best regards, Marc --- timEd/2 1.10.y2k+ * Origin: Sursum Corda!
