Hi Phil,

 PS> I send mail to my point, 1:229/3000.1 and all 
 PS> compressed crash mail gets sent as 0000ffff.th0 
 PS> depending on date. This is likely the problem, what can I do to fix this?

This is absolutely NORMAL. ALL Mail addressed to a 4D point off YOUR node will 
use the 0000ffff.??? filename format. Its a "special" number that all Fidonet 
Mailers should recognise because the packet naming scheme does not allow for 
Points within the forming of the 8.3 file name. the 0000ffff part means "My 
node Number - 1", and as negative node numbers are not allowed this means the 
point node is handled appropriately.

However if you were using 3D Point addressing (where a "Fakenet" number is 
used), then the Filenames should be normal.

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