 MK> Hello,

 MK> I'm trying to configure ISA properly for a League.  Unfortunately,
 MK> none of the routing examples show the hub being the same as the
 MK> originating message, so I may have the routing misconfigured.



 MK> I'm the LC, and there aren't enough systems to route other than
 MK> through me. Here's my route.cfg; hopefully somone has this game
 MK> configured in a similar fashion:

 MK> ---begin paste---

 MK> *1:138/389
 MK> %1:138/389
 MK> #C
 MK> ?1:167/219
 MK> ?2:252/40

      I've not setup ISA this way but looking at the docs one thing
      is the first % is for the node your sending mail to.  The
      above just says your the LC and your sending mail to youself.
      The ? entries only mean mail tht may be routed to that node
      THROUGH the % node.  So a chain like

           LC
          /  \
        A     B
       / \
      C  D

      Would look like 

 MK> *LC
 MK> %A
 MK> #C
 MK> ?C
 MK> ?D
     %B
     #C

     This may how it should look.  So your node is top with *.
     Then for every node your sending mail to you would
     put a % and address then # with status (crash, etc.)
     for that node.  If those nodes have nodes to send mail
     to then you would include ? entries.
     Hope this helps.





 MK> ---end paste---



 MK> The automated setup becomes unresponsive when I enter  % the same as
 MK> my *. As far as I can tell, I need to be both.  I'm not sure if a ?
 MK> entry is needed for my node number.  People are playing, but no packets
 MK> are being sent or received, so I'm pretty sure it's a routing problem.

 MK> In case this news server doesn't show my node number or name, I can be
 MK> reached at:

 MK> Marty Kazmaier 1:138/389

 MK> I'll check back in these areas as well, of course.



 MK> Thank you, and hopefully someone can help.
