actually, it is a problem on both ends of that intermediate connection...

firstly, the sending system should strip off certain attributes when the
message is packed... attributes like CRAsh and IMMediate, especially... DIRect
possibly but if DIRect was set, the message should not be on any intermediate
system other than possibly a boss node for a point destination...

secondly, the intermediate system(s) should ignore those CRAsh, IMMediate and
DIRect bits in the message(s) inside the PKTs...

this was a problem discovered back in the 80s or early 90s... several tossers
and mailers had to be adjusted to deal with this...

If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until
you hire an amateur.
