Hello Peter!

I've not working too mutch with squish, the main reason is that no sqafix
is aviable under Linux, if i was a leaf node it could work out. But
actually hpt isn't bad at all, i don't know any other tosser with internal
zip.

Okey, i haven't seen them in the documentation, would you be kind to show them?

Nearly zero nodes allows echomail routing!

The gateroute thing, it created a new message, whitch it marked sent, but
it forgot to mark the original message sent too, to it keeps sending that
message...

K/s doesn't work either, there were too many bugs..

 PK> Cheers..........pk.

G'day.
