Hi Phil,

 PS> Tosser doesn't seem to like anything but *.pkt files.

.CUT files ARE .PKT files, but with a ROUTING file extension.

Squish packs mail into .PKT format files, and then the ROUTE.CFG section
tells Squish what you wish to DO with those files. The .CUT extension is
simply a .PKT format file that has been RENAMED into a format for sending
to a node. If you want to use .PKT files "au natural" (natively)
then use the LEAVE command in ROUTE.CFG to tell Squish to NOT touch the
created .PKT file.

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