Hello Alan.

With all due respect, there's something wonky about that.  Nobody else's mail
processor seems to have any problem appropriately forwarding netmail. E.g., I
now send all out-of-zone netmail to 1:229/426. He's using D'Bridge; messages
going to Z2 are delivered promptly.  Same format - message bundle addressed to
1:229/426 containing pkts bound for various Z2 addresses - all handled w/o
problem... Or perhaps I don't properly understand what's inside that outbound
mail bundle. I have never attempted to open one and examine the contents as
they're usually gone from the system in very short order.

I will however, send netmail to one of my contacts in Z2, routed through
229/426, but I will stop the BinkP server long enough to do an exam of the
message bundle.

Best regards,
Marc
