Since this is only Synchronet (point) -> FMail (boss), it might be nice to see how other tossers setup as a boss handle the situation before creating a ticket anywhere.

The beauty of kludge lines. ;)

Although, one could argue the originating system creates the PATH kludge, and all others after would append it. At one time I think there was an issue where the originating system (as a point) would put it's 3D address in the PATH, which would screw with the boss node being seen as a dupe or an already processed message.

Sure, but should that be done with the boss node?

If there wasn't one to begin with, this wouldn't be an issue. I just don't know if there is /supposed/ to be an empty one created by the point (originating system), or not (per standards or whatever). If not, it should be a Synchronet/sbbsecho issue, not something FMail needs to work around. Especially if the issue has never been seen before this.

Nick
