I have no bad messages from your address and no stray bundles to deal with.

I have been busy with system crud myself, just completing 99% of the moves
I planned on, moving the mail hub back under Windows.. Seems some linux
updates had changed some libraries my tosser binaries relied on, mainly for
file processing. The windows binaries are self contained and dont rely on
the external libs, I am running the same software, just under different OS.

Updates sent to the robot that qualify for a email reply, are getting out.

I have not however seen responses in the ECHOLIST echo, again, no bad
messages or stray bundles.

Might I suggest you test it on one of your own echoes and do so manually
outside the purview of your batch files or other automation so that you can
follow the chain.

1. Make the update
2. Manually run the robot to process it.
3. Verify it created the pkt.
4. Manualy run your tosser to process pkt.
5. Verify it created a bundle for my system
6. Have Irex send it to me.

Make note of the exact bundle name (xyzpdqab.th?) and tell me what it was
and when you sent it or saw it go out, then I check my logs.

If manually works, then the glitch is in your batch files/automation.

Else I will see what is happening from my end.

You have that assurance and now that the hub is back under Windows you dont
have to worry about filename case.
