You could do something like:

# If $fromaddr is not a point
if ( $fromaddr !~ /\./ || $fromaddr =~ /\.0$/ ) {
    $direct = "\x01FLAGS DIR IMM\r";
}

# Prepend kludge lines
$msgtext = "\x01MSGID: $myaddr $mid\r\x01TZUTC: $tz\r".$direct.$msgtext;

This should only add the FLAGS kludge if you get a message from node (e.g. 1:229/664 or 1:229/664.0).  If it's a point address the kludge is not added and should be sent routed.


You could also try adding:

else {
    $direct = "\x01FLAGS HUB\r";
}

To the bottom of the above if statement and the message *should* be routed through the host or hub.  I've never tried/used this flag so I'm not sure how well (or if) it works.

HUB:
Host- or Hub-route message (as appropriate).

DIR:
Message must be sent directly to its destination and may not be routed.

IMM:
NOW!-priority mail. Send at first opportunity, override any transmission restrictions enforced by events, costs, or qualification.
