   To my knowledge BBBS uses type 2 packets. That being said, I have not found   
   a place in the BBBS configs to change that and little is mentioned in the docs   
   on packet types. Other BBBS Sysops might have more info.

   Not that I have seen.   
      
    AI> What pkt type works best when sending mail to BBBS?   
      
   To my knowledge Type-2.

   I have had that same problem myself. I get a mail feed from a Mystic system and   
   most of the mail packets I was getting were being rejected by BBBS as security   
   violations. It seems that the packets had a variety of AKA's other than the   
   Mystic   
   system feeding me. If I turned off security for the echo(s) in question in   
   BBBS then the packets from the Mystic system would be tossed ok.   
      
   It appeared that the mail packets I was getting were carrying the AKA of the   
   system   
   that had sent them to my feed instead of my feed's AKA. To investigate the   
   issue I   
   installed Mystic v1.12 for Linux on a system here to act as a "middleman"   
   between   
   BBBS and the Mystic system feeding me. So that the system that had feeding   
   BBBS was   
   now feeding "My Mystic" which in turn was feeding BBBS. With that araingement   
   I was   
   able to turn echo security back on and the received packets were tossed fine.   
      
   I sent some example packets to the Mystic author for his inspection as well   
   as notifying the BBBS author of the situation. I was informed that an update   
   to Mystic was to be made.   
      
   After taking "My Mystic" out of the picture I had to once again turn security   
   off   
   for the echo(s) in question.
