subject: Mail for unknown points

Hello Deon,

 DG> Not sure if I understand you issue fully.

I have a point setup here, 153/757.1315 and for some reason when people reply to him they are addressed to other points that don't exist. So far I have received mail for that point addressed to 153/757.1125 and 153/757.131.

Since those points don't exist it slips through the route file and gets routed on again. A vicious circle. :)

 DG> But for points, I have something like this

 DG> route hold noroute 21:3/100.*
 DG> route hold boss 21:3/999.*
 DG> route crash boss 21:4/106.*
 DG> route crash boss 21:3/*
 DG> route crash boss 21:2/116.*

I haven't noticed the boss keyword in the route file before so I'll look more into that.

 DG> That way anything for a point goes to it's boss. Anything for my point
 DG> (where I am 3/100) stays in the queue...

It's just these non existent points off my own node I need to stop or redirect somehow.

 Ttyl :-),
