OK, 2/116 -> 3/1 -> 3/2744 -> 3/999 is the path of netmail. (The other direction is the reverse).

I was wondering about the bad packet - and it's my next check. But sending netmail in the reverse direction works OK. (2/116 is quite old master/8f79438d2, which according to https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/8f79438d2 9 months ago).

I was discounting a bad packet, given the "Importing" line - but I guess that is the packet header, not the message header?

I'll explore the packet in detail and double check it's not bad (it's possible that it is...)
