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...

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...

Is this windows based software Mark?

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

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...

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

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

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

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. :)

you're doing quite well :)
