G'day Bill,

I was trying that but the internal message headers in the packets to be
sent were coming out incorrectly due to the order my Address numbers were
setup as (I checked this out with Inspecta). I ended up setting up 3
Netmail areas to get around this problem.



The first one declared is where all inbound Netmail ends up (according to
the Squish.cfg file). It is setup as normal ie



NetArea	Netmail		e:\email\msg\netmail		-$



The other areas are setup like the following:



NetArea	934_Netmail	e:\email\711_934\netmail	-$ -p3:711/934.20

NetArea	454_Netmail	e:\email\711_454\netmail	-$ -p3:711/454.3



I use the last two Netmail areas for outbound mail depending on which
system I go via. All Netmail areas are scanned when packing the mail
(according to the Squish.cfg file).



With this setup Squish sends the netmail to the correct boss in a correctly
addressed packet regardless of which of my boss addresses comes first in
the squish.cfg file.



Give it a go. It might stop whatever happened before.



Regards...Jeff
