AS it should be for a binkley style outbound system.  guess you had me
confused as you mentioned that in your earlier post.

I"m not at all familiar with that mailer and what it does so others
might be able to more intelligently help you.  However, I've used that line
I quoted above with the NoArc modifier for years to just get everything
out.  POints whom I send routed mail still seem to get it. OR at least did
in the old days.  I haven't netmailed a point of another system since I've
been back up.

IN fact, I think mail addressed to points still has the requisite
information.  I accidentally routed mail to one of my points through my
uplink before I fixed my route config earlier this year. HIs netmail
tracker sent me a pointed automagic warning about it . Squish
assumes by default that you'll send directly to nodes in your own net, but
I'm the only pots only in my net.  Hence I even have to route mail for net
116. I had a couple of other points designated with a send hold, but not
the new point I added.  HEnce I had to add a line:

send hold 1:116/901.all

hOpe another argus user will chime in for you as you'll get more
intelligent guidance there.

Regards,
           Richard
