Hello Marc,

ML> The mail bundle was addressed to 261/38 for forwarding purposes.  The
ML> packet would have been addressed to 2:333/808.7.

If you sent a packet (a *.pkt file) to 261/38 for processing the packet needs to be addressed to 261/38 even though that packet may contain one or more netmail messages for any nodes. If not there will be an error like this.

> 201024 20:30 Processing packet f94c5fd9.pkt from 1:396/45.0, 1070 bytes.
> 201024 20:30 BOGUS: Packet /home/bbbs/tmpin/f94c5fda.pkt is not for us
> (2:333/808.7)

That makes me believe the packet was addressed to 2:333/808.7 and that is why 261/38 didn't open it.

AI>> If that packet was addressed to 1:261/38 (the packet, not the

ML> If by packet you actually mean the mail bundle, then yes the affected
ML> bundles went to 1:261/38.

A compressed mail bundle is a different thing, it may contain one or more packets (*.pkt files). If you want any node to open a .pkt file and toss it those packets need to be addressed to that node even though the messages inside are destined for other nodes.
