Hi Phil,

 PS> I send mail to my point, 1:229/3000.1 and all 
 PS> compressed crash mail gets sent as 0000ffff.th0 
 PS> depending on date. This is likely the problem, what can I do to fix this?

This is absolutely NORMAL. ALL Mail addressed to a 4D point off YOUR node
will use the 0000ffff.??? filename format. Its a "special" number
that all Fidonet Mailers should recognise because the packet naming scheme
does not allow for Points within the forming of the 8.3 file name. the
0000ffff part means "My node Number - 1", and as negative node
numbers are not allowed this means the point node is handled appropriately.

However if you were using 3D Point addressing (where a "Fakenet"
number is used), then the Filenames should be normal.

Cheers.............pk.
