Yes, Squish process the route.cfg file in a top down mannor.

And as to echomail, remember, echomail is just a special version of
netmail.  And like confmail and OMM, squish processes echomail just like
netmail....

You're keying off the noarc difference.  That is not the problem.  I
believe the problem is that squish re-scans the outbound area for each line
in route.cfg, and so reprocesses any newly created NORMAL flavor packets
with later lines in the route.cfg file.

 BS> For poll ?

If I had ILO packets (vs CLO, HLO, DLO and FLO), I could more easily
distingquish between sending something out via BINKD vs sending out via
Binkley.  Binkley won't touch the ILO packets, so with binkley configured
as a TCP/IP based mailer on my system, I can keep binkley from dialing my
BinkP based connections without nodelist mods (such as tweaking the cost
table, which is the method I'm using for now....)

Take care.....
