First of all, look in the directories set by Inbound, LocalInbound, ProtInbound, tempDir, TempInbound, TempOutbound whether anything is stalled there. It may also be useful to change the script which calls tossing and copy the incoming pkt to some directory just before "hpt toss". It may be also good to print to some log file the date and time and the pkt name. Thus you may make sure that nobody sends you the message.

The digit 8 should be in LogLevels.
