    Hi Rick,

    I am going to do my best to describe what I think is happening. I am a hub I host several different networks. Micronet netmail sent through my node from some of my downlinks does not appear to get processed and forwarded on, I have tested this after a concern one of my downlinks. I sent a netmail to that user from one of my BBS's and he did not get it and I could not find it in the hpt log as getting processed. I can send that downlink netmail from the hub directley without issue. I think its a routing issue, but wouldnt I see some sort of processing in hpt log? I can even see where it attempts it? All my other networks seem to work just as you would expect them to. So strange! Any thoughts where I might look to sort this out?

    Follow the log:
    * Your BBS creates a packet (grab the packet name),
    * Your BBS sends packet to hub (confirm that packet is sent)
    * Hub receives packet from BBS (confirm the hub receives it, did it rename it) * Hub process packet (hpt output from processing that packet)

    What do the logs show?

    Hi Rick,

    I am going to do my best to describe what I think is happening. I
    am a hub I host several different networks. Micronet netmail sent
    through my node from some of my downlinks does not appear to get
    processed and forwarded on, I have tested this after a concern one
    of my downlinks. I sent a netmail to that user from one of my
    BBS's and he did not get it and I could not find it in the hpt log
    as getting processed. I can send that downlink netmail from the
    hub directley without issue. I think its a routing issue, but
    wouldnt I see some sort of processing in hpt log? I can even see
    where it attempts it? All my other networks seem to work just as
    you would expect them to. So strange! Any thoughts where I might
    look to sort this out?

    Follow the log:

    * Your BBS sends packet to hub (confirm that packet is sent)
    * Hub receives packet from BBS (confirm the hub receives it, did it
    rename it) * Hub process packet (hpt output from processing that
    packet)

    I get the pkt.. makes no mention of netmail being processed in the logs.. and certainly not packed for its intended destination..This is weird that it only happens on micronet.

    Regards,

    Rick
