 ML> PKT INFO:
 ML> 1/1       396/45           333/808          0000003a           NETMAIL
 ML> Type 2+  Maximus-CBCS v1.11    O=1:396/45                 D=2:333/808

This packet has a DestAddr of 2:333/808.

 ML> Please, when you have the opportunity, explain why BBBS's
 ML> tosser/packer has issues with this.

Because BBBS is operating in secure mode. There is a toggle in BBBS's setup to
disable that and this is what the BBBS documentaion has to say about that.

Global: FidoNet: BOGUS: Disable security
_______________________________________________________________________________

If this option is enabled, BOGUS will not pay any attention to echomail or
netmail destinations or packet passwords.  This is useful when a downlink
has you setup incorrectly and you want to toss the mail anyway.

WARNING:  This is a very dangerous option to enable!  You are very likely to
get and generate duplicate messages or experience other problens with this
enabled. Please be sure you know what you are doing before you turn this on!
=== Cut ===

If you routed that netmail to BBBS in a .pkt with a DestAddr of 1:261/38 then
it would be tossed as expected and forwarded on toward the destination.

 Ttyl :-),
