Hello Jay!

15 Nov 24 12:08, you wrote to me:

Just added the features you described.

Now ping.pl supports PING/TRACE with routed mail reply
but when send to PINGC as a node you will receive a direct/imm reply back, however if you do this as a point than it is HUB delivered and/or routed ..

People can test to my system. I am open for business 

Thanks Jay!

Dennis
