Can you tell more about this?              Basically, if you receive a .PKT file destined for one of your downlinks, it        should be placed unaltered in the temporary outbound, to be archived for the        destination along with any other mail you are tossing. However, it appears        from my testing that certain .PKT header fields (including the .PKT password)        are overwritten with the password you have defined for that downlink. Of        course, this causes an issue if the originating node has a different password        defined for the destination. There is also a minor issue with .PKT endings,        as the forwarded .PKTs end up with an extra 2 NUL bytes tacked onto the end.               AL>> I sent details to Tobias Burchhardt a few months back, but he        AL>> wasn't hopeful that he would be able to fix it.               TK> :(              It's too bad, because other than the cross-zone SEEN-BY stripping and these        issues with forwarding .PKTs, the software is virtually bullet-proof.              Andrew              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phoenix.bnbbbs.net (1:320/219)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/2 16/0 103/705 120/544 123/130 131 154/10 203/0       SEEN-BY: 203/124 221/0 1 226/17 227/114 229/354 426 1014 230/0 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 261/38 280/464 310/31 317/3 320/119 219 322/0       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 712/848 770/1       PATH: 320/219 203/0 280/464 229/426           |
