Sigh...

Whereever you got this from, please tell the source to look into the documentation before building a configuration.

Syntax:
 route    [ ...]@*
 route nopack  [ ...]

flavour, routeVia and target are .

The signs  and [] are such basic for *nix manuals that i don't remember where that concept is explained.  must be set while [] is optional.

     route

Routing is done from top to down. If point mail matches a previous route statement a later boss route can't match.

 PH> OK thanks, will look to add something for each node then.

no-route (or noroute) -- this keyword is a misnomer in a way and
in fact it means route to destination via itself.

One may use the second variant of the route statement in the form

route  nopack  [ ...]

Here the  is ignored.  Such use is deprecated and it is left for
compatibility with old versions.

Don't solve problems that do not exist. A configuration should follow the demand. If you haven't seen routed files on your system then you maybe never will.
