   Hello Alan.

   With all due respect, there's something wonky about that.  Nobody else's mail   
   processor seems to have any problem appropriately forwarding netmail. E.g., I   
   now send all out-of-zone netmail to 1:229/426. He's using D'Bridge; messages   
   going to Z2 are delivered promptly.  Same format - message bundle addressed to   
   1:229/426 containing pkts bound for various Z2 addresses - all handled w/o   
   problem... Or perhaps I don't properly understand what's inside that outbound   
   mail bundle. I have never attempted to open one and examine the contents as   
   they're usually gone from the system in very short order.   
      
   I will however, send netmail to one of my contacts in Z2, routed through   
   229/426, but I will stop the BinkP server long enough to do an exam of the   
   message bundle.   
      
   Best regards,   
   Marc
