i took a quick peek in the netmgr docs for PKT just to verify gord's
suggested line, above... the only place that i find PKT in the docs is
here...

===== quote =====

 _ MOVEMAIL    []
 -------------------------------------------

      : origination address to use (in mailpacket header).
      : destination address to use (in mailpacket header).
       : output directory for packet.
  : packet password to use for the mailpacket (optional).

 This will create a mailpacket, not in Binkley's outbound but in the 
 you specify. The packetname will be a unique name created by NetMgr (it
 is an uncompressed packet, so the extension will be .PKT). The packet
 will be from  and addressed to .
 You can also use '{at}myaka' instead of 'address' as the origination
 address. This will let NetMgr pick the most appropriate AKA
 automatically. See the special section about AKAmatching later in the
 documentation.

 Using '*' for  is not allowed here (I don't think it is useful - it
 can be added though).

 If a file is attached to the message, it will be copied to  as well.
 The FLAGS KFS & TFS are respected; after the file is copied it will be
 deleted or truncated if one of these flags is set.
 The 'sent' bit is set after the message is added to the mailpacket, or
 the message is killed (when a message was marked kill/sent).
 Messages that are either Sent or Locked will not be processed.

 Possible uses: mail delivery through a LAN, maybe also sending mail to
 gateways on your system.

that would seem to indicate that you want the mask to be something like
this instead...

  Mask *, *, *, 1:261/1551.0, *, * Action Movemail {at}myaka 1:261/1551/0
e:\gigo\out password

possibly you'll want to use 1:261/1550 or whatever other hardcoded address
in place of {at}myaka... i'd probably also be a tad more specific on the MASK
by specifying the fromname and/or the from address otherwise, someone might
be able to drop off mail destined to 1551 and have it moved to gigo and
thus out thru your gateway unless gigo stops it... verify also that
directory is the one that gigo is looking in for inbound mail pkts for it
to process thru the gateway...

other than that, thanks go to gord for giving me the kick in the backside i
needed to get into the netmgr docs and look at this... seems that i tend to
go more for verification than initial research at times ;)
