    It's late and I'm tired as I write this.

    If I want to send all netmail addressed to my hub address 3:770/1 on to my BBS 3:770/100 instead how best to do so?

    Am I best to use a ROUTE-TO statement

    So ROUTE-TO 3:770/100 3:770/1

    Correct?

    Having brain fade at this hour... :(

    Best, Paul

    That looks good. It's saying that anything for ~770/1 will be routed to ~770/100.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    yes but you'll still have that netmail containing the original /1 destination address... on the /1 machine, you would need a ""forwarder"" which either forwards the mail as a new message to your /100 OR the forwarder changes the destination address of /1 to that of /100 so that it will be sent from /1 to /100 where you really want it...

    Thanks that's what I had hoped would be put in place if implemented.

    I thought that is what the ROUTE-TO would in essence do?

    I can see there are also FORWARD-TO statements but they only apply for 'in transit' netmail of which I am unsure mail arriving at my HUB system would qualify as.

    Only one way to find out I guess. :-)

    route-to is only for routing in-transit netmail... you need something like netmgr to rewrite the destination like might be done if you were on vacation and wanted your mail re-addressed to your point that you have on your laptop with you...

    forward-to and forward-for are also for in-transit netmail, IIRC... you use them to determine which systems you will forward mail to/for...

    Only one way to find out I guess. :-)

    true... and the docs are also very helpful... pages 119-121 should have the detailed information you seek ;)

    Is this windows based software Mark?

    Yep knew that but had hoped I could use it to my advantage.

    Yeah I had looked over them a lot but the info has not gelled and my level of experience in intermediate to advanced FTN netmail is not that great. But
    hey, I'm keen to learn and slowly grow that base level of understanding. :)

    netmgr? no... it is DOS based from around 1995 IIRC... also has a native OS/2 flavor...

    yeah... just like frondoor, they're only good for routing in-transit mail..
