With all due respect, there's something wonky about that. Nobody else's mail processor seems to have any problem appropriately forwarding netmail. E.g., I now send all out-of-zone netmail to 1:229/426. He's using D'Bridge; messages going to Z2 are delivered promptly. Same format - message bundle addressed to 1:229/426 containing pkts bound for various Z2 addresses - all handled w/o problem... Or perhaps I don't properly understand what's inside that outbound mail bundle.<?> I have never attempted to open one and examine the contents as they're usually gone from the system in very short order.
I will however, send netmail to one of my contacts in Z2, routed through 229/426, but I will stop the BinkP server long enough to do an exam of the message bundle.
