It's then up to the Node to transfer the mail packet/        bundle to their secure inbound in their mailer setup and then run their        tosser to pack mail for uplinks/downlinks.              Regards,       Martin              --- OpenXP 5.0.49        * Origin: Bitz-Box - Bradford - UK (2:310/31.3)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305 154/10       SEEN-BY: 203/0 221/0 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 664 1016 1017       SEEN-BY: 240/2100 5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 249/206 317 400 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 282/1038 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/1 2432/390 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 2454/119       PATH: 310/31 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
