   11 Sep 15 21:23, you wrote to me:   
      
    ml>> yes but you'll still have that netmail containing the original /1   
    ml>> destination address... on the /1 machine, you would need a   
    ml>> ""forwarder"" which either forwards the mail as a new message to your   
    ml>> /100 OR the forwarder changes the destination address of /1 to that   
    ml>> of /100 so that it will be sent from /1 to /100 where you really want   
    ml>> it...   
      
    PH> I thought that is what the ROUTE-TO would in essence do?   
      
   route-to is only for routing in-transit netmail... you need something like   
   netmgr to rewrite the destination like might be done if you were on vacation   
   and wanted your mail re-addressed to your point that you have on your laptop   
   with you...   
      
    PH> I can see there are also FORWARD-TO statements but they only apply for   
    PH> 'in transit' netmail of which I am unsure mail arriving at my HUB   
    PH> system would qualify as.   
      
   forward-to and forward-for are also for in-transit netmail, IIRC... you use   
   them to determine which systems you will forward mail to/for...   
      
    PH> Only one way to find out I guess. :-)   
      
   true... and the docs are also very helpful... pages 119-121 should have the   
   detailed information you seek ;)
