   I don't think so. According to the docs on this option:   
      
   Pack netmail   
      
             If enabled, the Pack Netmail switch causes netmail for   
             this system to be packed for this system directly. This   
             means, that mail for this system will not be routed   
             according to the contents of the Pack Manager.   
      
   Did you configure the pack manager?   
      
   There should be atleast one line with a default route like:   
      
   1:* 2:* 3:* 4:* 5:* 6:* via 2:290/123

   Don't think so. It doesn't make sense you would have to configure every node   
   you want to send a crashmail to...   
      
   Actually, I don't think I ever send a crashmail, so I don't even know if my   
   system is configured correctly for sending crashmails. ;)   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
