Hello Avon,

 Av> Thanks, I have taken a different route and have defined things in the
 Av> filter.pl

 Av>      ping_pong( $fromname, $fromaddr, $toname, $toaddr, $subject,
 Av> $text, $PVT, 123);

Aha! I think that is probably what Stas had in mind so I will change my setup like that also.

 Av> I am also playing with the help file as I wanted to tweak the layout
 Av> and info.

I have been commenting and uncommenting that text. I can't decide if I want it there or not so I have it commented out for now but the %RouteTo in the subject line is working.

 Av> What I am unsure of is if you add route to links for different zones
 Av> how will the system behave if your netmail is from Zone 21 aka and you
 Av> ask it to route via a Zone 3 system? Hmm

It does seem to work well from what I have seen. I just sent a ping to 21:4/106 from 106.1 and it worked as expected and replied from zone 21.

I also sent a ping to 1:153/757 from 757.2 this past week and I asked it to route the reply via 3:770/1. It came back about 15 minutes later after taking 4 or five hops around New Zealand and the US. :)

Your node is one of the nodes listed if someone puts %Links in the subject line so it's possible you may see pings travelling through your node at times.

I never thought of it at the time but I am going to add 21:1/100, 3/100 and 4/100 to that list, so some pings could be seen if someone chooses that route.

 Ttyl :-),
         Al
