Hello, Kevin...

Use NOARC as a modifier on the SEND command.

Say, Jerry... color me stupid but I can't get it to work. I'm not sure what
I'm doing wrong, here is my route.cfg, note node 1:134/77.10

route.cfg:

The following hold commands are ok....

; Nodes we put on HOLD
SEND hold 1:17/80
SEND hold 1:134/10
SEND hold 1:134/33
SEND hold 1:134/703
SEND hold 1:134/503
SEND hold 1:134/303
SEND hold 1:140/1
SEND hold 30:250/140
SEND hold 30:1000/0

The following send normal commands are actually NO-OP commands in SQUISH! In stead of using "send normal" use "send direct"..

; Nodes we DO NOT wish to have routed via LPM
SEND normal 1:17/0
SEND normal 30:100/all
SEND normal 30:1000/all
SEND normal NoArc 1:134/77.10
SEND normal 1:134/all
SEND normal 1:342/1
SEND normal 1:134/1 65535/65535 -1/-1

Because the "send normal" commands are no-op's in squish, the following route normal 1:140/1 will actually send 1:17/0, 1:134/77.10, 1:134/all, 1:342/1 and 1:134/1, 1:65535/65535 and 1:-1/-1 to 1:140/1....

; All fall-through mail is now routed through our LPM feed node, 1:140/1 ROUTE normal 1:140/1 1:all 2:all 3:all 4:all 5:all 6:all
SEND normal world

You could enter "change direct normal" commands here if you want to get the packet flavor back to the standard way instead of leaving them as direct packets.

Please note that what I am documenting is for SQUISH. If you were using the older mail mashers (CONFMAIL, QMAIL, etc.), the SEND NORMAL lines would have worked as I think you expected them to.

Take care.....

Hi Kevin,

Ok, squish is sending direct, but it's still not making
*.PKT files for node
1:134/77.10?

SEND direct NoArc 1:134/77
SEND direct NoArc 1:134/77.10

Reverse the order of these 2 lines, its packing ALL mail for 1:134/77 INCLUDING
the point traffic, so there is nothing left to pack for the point.
Remember that Points are not Nodelisted, so you cannot be sure what Points might exist under a node. Squish considers all point traffic as traffic for that node UNLESS explicitly handled seperate.

Also, I always SEND HOLD or ROUTE HOLD for everything, then CHANGE HOLD DIRECT,
etc... if required later.

Cheers............pk.

Messages to 77.10 will be in PKTs to his boss 77.0, unless you've used a ROUTE or SEND to get them from "unflavored" to "flavored" first. Even then, unless you've added 77.10's point entry into your own nodelist, Binkley will dial the boss node to actually deliver what Squish built.

I think we've had this argument before. SEND NORMAL is not a no-op, in that it does create file attaches. You're on the right track, though: NORMAL mail is going to be acted upon by subsequent commands, so the effect of a SEND NORMAL [NoArc] command will be smothered by any subsequent commands that operate on the same nodes.

Hello, Kevin...

*.PKT is only used inside archived mail bundles. An unarchived "packet" will have an extension of "?UT". It will also, if "normal" (.OUT), be operated upon by subsequent SEND and ROUTE commands.
