    Hello Marc,

    Thursday July 23 2020 14:37, you wrote to All:

    Any ideas on how or why and how to prevent this will be appreciated.

    What's your set up to him in ROUTE.CFG?

    For everyone that I send direct, I use Send Normal File. For all other netmail which I send routed, I use Route Normal File.

    It sounds like there was a problem in the netmail headers, maybe?

    Later,
    Sean

    His line is highlighted. I am wondering, if like you
    mentioned, there was some anomaly with the in-transit
    NetMail that was sent to me to forward on... I can
    honestly say I have never run into this quirk before.
    Absolutely nothing stands out to me to have caused this
    problem.

    I can't see anything wrong either with that line. I do the same thing with the nodes I connect directly to and then for my main Fidonet feed, I use "Route Crash" for him. For all of my hubs in Micronet, I use "Route Crash" also to make sure that netmail flows correctly throughout the network properly.

    Well, "Route Crash File" since Micronet is so small that routing an occasional file doesn't hurt anything.

    From what you've told me, I'd agree with your that the netmail was somehow malformed.

    If you allow netmail to be routed through your system, do you have the "Tracking" keyword in Squish?
