Crash can mean different things to different tossers. Crash should mean send it now following our routing rules. I think in the case of HPT crash means send it now directly.

If a message has the crash bit that is what will happen. I use it rarely. I almost always send netmail without it, and in that case the route file defines what happens with netmail.

Setting the crash bit changes things, the route file doesn't come into play.

One other note, when sending netmail directly to an unlinked node it is best (I think) not to archive it. It is going to arrive in the nodes unsecure inbound and some tossers like hpt won't unarchive mail in the unsecure inbound. They will import .pkt files so if it arrives that way it will get tossed.

 Av> Question.. if this is just a confirmation of segment being processed
 Av> netmail why would I need the routefile line?

My mistake, I thought this was a file routing issue, but it isn't so that won't be needed. Come to think of it, I don't think think there is a routefile statement in my config at all and it is unlikely to be needed.
