First, the Origin line shows where the msg is coming in, 1:278/230

The 2 lines above the origi line shows clearly that MoonDog BBS 1:278/230,
is gating to the internet via a NNTP gateway.

The Path line is just the path of bbs's that the msg took to get
from MoonDog to you. The zone nums are dropped, in this case they
are all zone 1, and where the next bbs is in the same net, the net
is dropped. So in full node addy's the path looks like

1:228/230 -> 1:10/345 -> 1:106/1 -> 1:106/2000 -> 1:140/1 ->
1:153/307 -> you

If you don't want an echo gated make sure you state no gating in
your echo list, and in it's rules and in it's rule file, and then
simple send a netmail to the gating bbs's sysop and request them
to stop gating it.
