Getting very frustrated with HPT. I can't figure out why it ignores my
routing lines and puts my happynet address in the via lines of netmails to other nets...

Here is my config if anyone is able to see what i am doing wrong...

Getting very frustrated with HPT. I can't figure out why it ignores
my routing lines and puts my happynet address in the via lines of
netmails to other nets...

I am not sure why. Your config looks good to me.

Address 637:1/102
Address 21:1/126.1
Address 77:3/103.1

I wonder if changing the order of these lines would make a difference?

I'm not actually sure what via lines my own setup would produce. If you'd
like to send yourself a netmail via my node we could see if the same
thing happens here.

Ttyl :-),

Looks like the via line is a bug introduced in a recentish patch.. i
downgraded to the version on sourceforge and the via line is correct
now.

Still not sure about routing.

I've got it to work finally :) I was making assumptions that HPT would
add the INTL and TOPT, FMPT kludges whereas I had to do that on my
BBS. I also had to remove the CRASH flag as well.

Ah well, it's working now so I'm happy. Not sure about that VIA line
though... perhaps it would be fixed if I upgraded again..

Glad you got it sorted.

Yep, if a message has the crash (or hold, and possibly IMM) flag set when
it is written no routing will take place. It'll be crashed or held for
the node. Only normaly flavoured mails will follow your routes.

I'm curious about this now. I've never had a good look at the via lines
of messages that pass through here so I wonder..
