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.                     --- Maximus/2 3.01        * Origin: === Maxie BBS.
