There is no hpt error message. It just says in the log '0 netmail messages'.

Thanks to Michael Dukelsky 2:5020/1042, he has already identified the problem.
The pkt file contains a packet password which is too long: 11 characters,
which causes the whole packet to be garbled and ignored.

Hotdoged should not have allowed a packet password longer than 8 characters.
When I removed the excess characters from the password in a hex editor
(allowing all the remaining bytes to shift), the packet became normal and
recognizable by the tosser.

This is probably a bug in Hotdoged.
