   that's why i specifically mentioned about having something in the .try file   
   that monitoring software could use to raise a more noticible alert... for   
   example, this (broken for formatting) line from my waitingoutmail script uses   
   the time stamp in the .hld file and the result value in the .try file...   
      
     d 1:123/130@fidonet  (007b0082) : netmail       :  2 days 04:09:08   
       Next Delivery Attempt: 2020-01-14 05:46:57 -0500   
       Last Delivery Status: Connection timed out   
      
   so like maybe the last attempt status in the .try file could be something like   
      
     Will not attempt delivery to self!   
      
   or similar...
