G'day Bill,

 JG>> I use the last two Netmail areas for outbound mail depending on 

 JG>> which system I go via. All Netmail areas are scanned when

 BG> What a good idea!  Dunno why I didn't think of it before.

 BG> The inability of Msged to send netmail to two different

Yeah, changing the address was never a problem here either (except when I
forgot :-)). It was the internal packet headers that weren't correct. They
didn't seem to make any difference to the mail being routed, but I like to
keep things neat when possible.



 JG>> With this setup Squish sends the netmail to the correct boss in 

 JG>> a correctly addressed packet regardless of which of my boss 

 JG>> addresses comes first in the squish.cfg file.



 BG> Exactly.  It's an elegantly simple solution too.



Took me a long time to think of it and about two minutes to implement it!!
Why can't I get these flashes of brilliance when I'm picking my lotto
numbers? :-)



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



 BG> Have already reconfigured, and everything is working just fine 

 BG> again.  I've no idea why it chose that particular moment to fuck 

 BG> up, but it certainly shouldn't happen again.  Thanks for the 

 BG> suggestion.



Things always go nutty just when everything seems to be working correctly :-)



Regards...Jeff
