Hey DM, I question on routing. I've been doing some testing.
I have 2 SBBS setups (on FSXnet) - one is 2/116, the other is 3/100.
2/116 in sbbsecho.ini, there is no definition for 3/100 - but a definition for 21:ALL, so that all netmail goes via the hub (2/100).
On 3/100 it is similar, with 21:2/ALL sending everything to 2/100.
I could send a message happily from 2/116 to 3/100 (it would go via 2/100).
On 3/100, I then setup a config for 2/116 in sbbsecho.ini, but I had "Direct: no" "Route To: disabled".
On 3/100, if I now send a message to 2/116, it will end up in BSO to go direct to 2/116, instead of being packed for 2/100. I would have thought with "Direct: no", it would be routed?
Do I have it wrong?
It would be routed if there was a wildmatch (e.g. for 21:2/ALL) with a route-to address configured *and* direct was set to "No".

Well, that is what I thought, but it appears to not be...

I created a test message:

It was tossed direct:

The entry for 2/116 in sbbsecho.cfg was just created, all defaults: [node:21:2/116@fsxnet]
Name = Deon George
Archive = None
PacketType = 2+
PacketPwd =
AreaFix = false
Inbox =
Outbox =
Passive = false
Direct = false
Notify = false
Status = Normal
There is a corresponding 21:2/ALL
[node:21:2/ALL@fsxnet]
Name = FSXnet HUB2
PacketType = 2+
PacketPwd =
Inbox =
Outbox =
Passive = false
Direct = false
Notify = false
Status = Normal
Route = 21:2/100
So, shouldnt this netmail have been routed via 21:2/100?
No, because you have linked node entry for 21:2/116, so the 21:2/ALL node won't be matched against. And your 21:2/116 linked node is configured to *not* route. When looking for an outbound node configuration, a "best match" search is performed and since you have an exact-match node configured, that's the node config that will be used.

Oh, wait, I've thought about this a little more...
Whats the difference between Direct=false and Direct=true in this scenario?
Whats the difference between Direct=false and Direct=true in thisThe FLO file created will be .dlo (for direct) or a different extension (e.g. .flo) otherwise.
scenario?

Now, I'm confused even more.
With my intention to define a node in sbbsecho.ini, but still have any netmails routed via it's hub - Direct=false/Direct=true do not help me here - correct?
It will still be "direct" unless I edit "Route =" for said entry.
