Hello Alan.

I have 2 examples of the outbound message bundle contents. The bundle was addressed to 1:229/426 for forwarding. Here's the contents of the bundle containing 2 separate netmails for 2 separate Z2 addresses as seen by InspectA:

As you can see, although the message bundle is addressed to 1:229/426, the two packets contained therein are addressed to their respective Z2 addresses. Both these pkts will be delivered w/o problem by the forwarding node (229/426). It's always worked like this in the past, even before 1:261/38 was my feed - - years ago.
Please, when you have the opportunity, explain why BBBS's tosser/packer has issues with this.
Best regards,
Marc
