subject: Routing Problem

* Crossposted from: Argus


  I'm not sure what is the source of my problem, so I am posting this
  messages into the three echos that might be relevant.

  My problem is that on the rare occasion when I enter a netmail, it is
  not getting routed the way I think it should.

  I enter the netmail using the program IE that comes with InterMail.
  That part seems to work just fine, the message gets prepared and the
  node number of the addressee gets put into the TO: field.

  Next thing is that I process the message(s) using SQUISH via the
  command sq386n.exe OUT SQUASH.   It is my understanding that SQUISH
  should read the ROUTE.CFG file which has as its last routing command
  the line
     Route      Crash   1:123/500 1:All 2:All 3:All 4:All 5:All 6:ALL
  There are some lines before that which direct mail to specific other
  nodes to go directly to those nodes, e.g.
     Send   Crash 1:261/38

  After I do the sq386 run, if I then look at the message using IE it
  now says "sent" in the status field.

  However, if I go to my ARGUS program and look at its outmail box, I
  will often see a message just sitting there queued up to be sent to
  whatever node was the original addressee.    In order to make the mail
  go out I have to manually modify it to be sent to my uplink which is
  1:123/500.

  FWIW, in my SQUISH.CFG a few possibly relevant lines are:

  ; ArcmailAttach
  Routing         Route.Cfg

  I do not see anyplace in ARGUS configuration documentation that
  implies how to route mail.

  Can anyone help?   Goal is to get such messages automatically routed
  through 1:123/500 unless otherwise stated.
