Hi Sean,

 sr> Is there anyway to tell Squish not to route netmails, 
 sr> ie not touch them at all.

Have a real close read of the Squish instructions, the commandline parameters 
are VERY subtle. In particualr note the SQUASH option -

   SQUASH    For a BinkleyTerm system, the SQUASH command packs
             messages from the NetMail areas, scans the outbound
             areas, performs mail routing, and compresses packets.

             For a FrontDoor-style system, the SQUASH command
             compresses packets, scans the NetMail area, creates
             ARCmail attach messages, and optionally kills any
             orphaned archives.

             If the SQUASH command is specified on the same command
             line as IN and OUT, the single pass MaxMsgs mode can
             also be used to limit outbound packet sizes.

In a nutshell, if you are runing FD style outbound, then you can't so this, 
however if you are runing BSO, then you can. Just use IN and OUT but don't 
include the SQUASH option and with BSO will ignore Netmail FOR THAT PASS. 
However note that to use SQUISH to PACK outbound, you need SQUASH, which 
implies a Netmail area pass.

Sometimes it just takes the right combination of multiple passes to achieve the 
result you desire.

The other sneaky way to do this is to use multiple Netmail areas and make sure 
SQUISH only sees an empty one or the one you don't care if it touches.

Cheers...............pk.
