   Well it sort of does, but it doesn't help.......;-) A Mail bundle is just a   
   ZIP file with a name specific to the NEXT HOP node as far as Routing is   
   concerned, but even then it can be kludged depending on the relationship of   
   YOUR node to the target Node.    
      
   One thing I can think of causing this is where you are packing Mail for an   
   other net address, but your system does not have an address within that   
   Othernet for YOUR system. In this case you need to ensure SQUISH.CFG contains   
   and address for YOUR node within that other net, and that then matches up with   
   the NETWORK addressing of a target node.   
      
   Are you able to provide some actual examples of file names used for these   
   othernet addresses?    
      
      
    MB> The right address being used are on the *.pkt files,    
    MB> the wrong address being    
    MB> used are on the *.su0 *.mo0 etc. files.   
      
   So what happens to the created Mail bundles, where do they actually end up and   
   how (IE via what routing) do they get there?   
      
      
    MB> Mail packets are zipped if you have zip as your default packer in your    
    MB> compress.cfg that squish uses to archive mail bundles.   
      
   I note that your ROUTE.CFG had NOCOMP for several othernet addresses, what   
   happens to the mail for those addresses, as they should not be compressed...   
      
   I have never used an AMA Mailer in my 15+ years of Fidonet, so I have never   
   had to think about what should be happening in these situations........;-)   
      
   Cheers............pk.
