I don't think so. According to the docs on this option:

Pack netmail

          If enabled, the Pack Netmail switch causes netmail for
          this system to be packed for this system directly. This
          means, that mail for this system will not be routed
          according to the contents of the Pack Manager.

Did you configure the pack manager?

There should be atleast one line with a default route like:

1:* 2:* 3:* 4:* 5:* 6:* via 2:290/123

Don't think so. It doesn't make sense you would have to configure every
node you want to send a crashmail to...

Actually, I don't think I ever send a crashmail, so I don't even know if my
system is configured correctly for sending crashmails. ;)

Bye, Wilfred.
