When defining an area (netmail or echomail) use -p<aka to use> in the very same
line in squish.cfg.

I'm (still) running a multihomed system in several networks using multiple AKAs
in each network. Therefore I defined specific ForwardTo/ForwardFrom statements
for each zone in squish.cfg to ensure correct target zones.

In route.cfg I defined specific routing statements, i.e.:
route normal <file> <zone.net.node.point> <z.n.??? net/hub/node/...>
send direct <file> <zone.net.node.point>

More global:
route normal target which_addresses
send flavour target

Never leave a paket alone while it has normal flavour. It will be grabbed when
Squish encounters another matching route statement!

Squish works fine using as many AKAs as you want the correct way when doing it
this way (first "route normal", than immediately "send <flavour not normal>").
Best example is my BBS:
Doing it this way works fine since many years over here at my
point/node/hub/host/gateway system in different networks.

HTH!

btw:
Happy new year! :-)

cu, Dieter
