If you insist on using type 2.2 packets, then is may very well have been.

I've recently switched from using my BBS as a mail hub, to running a separate
mail hub using hpt as the tosser. While my BBS software did indeed support 2.2
packets, it doesn't look like hpt does.

Also, I've changed your config to compression type: none.

There were some small settings I may have missed in the move (like that one).

They were stopped here, most likely because they were type 2.2 packets. At the
moment my node is expecting type 2+ packets. If I can find something in the
documentation that states I can change that, I will most definitely let you
know.

Nick
