Hello Carol.

04 Nov 02 18:35, you wrote to me:

 RVR>>> private (Pvt) node system. You are an ION that is forced to use

 CS>> Correct.  In RIN case, HOLD is the authorized version for ION RIN's.

 RVR>> Where is the HOLD for RIN's specified? I've not seen that yet (the doc
 RVR>> is - not the use of HOLD).

 CS> FTS 5001.



Grabs copy of FTS-5001 and does search for hold (case insensitive).
1 response "placeholder", hmm nothing about RIN's there.

Does search for "independent" - search string not found.

Does search for region - Reference to REC, nothing about RIN's or HOLD



You sure about this?

Ahh found it - FTS 5000

     Hold --
         Defines a node which is temporarily down,or  is a region/zone
         independent node which is reachable via IP only. Mail may be
         sent to it and is held by its host or coordinator.


Whats the point of being an IP node 24/7 if everyone's going to route your
mail somewhere else because of a hold flag?

Cheers,
                Rick
