For some reason I dont have pktdump - but that's OK because I wrote my own.

But your 2nd last statement is probably the reason.

Your tosser (sbbsecho), actually looks inside the packet and uses the INTL instead of using the address in the packet message header? Not quite sure if that is right or wrong, but that's the behaviour?

(In this case, the INTL kludge has the correct destination (as it always would right?) but the packed message header has a different destination.)

Does it ever use the address in the packed message header?
