    Can I check routing logic with you?

    Yes the logic is to check if there is a direct address configured and route to them if so. If there isn't a direct entry for that address, then it will look through and try to find the first routed match.

    I know most routing tables work on the last rule that matches applies,
    and clearly there's a defined direct route with 3/102 defined in 1/100
    HUB .. but would there be a way to override that behavior to create a forced rule to direct 3/102 netmail to 3/100 instead?

    I just finished adding a "Bypass Direct" flag for echomail nodes which will disable direct routing for that node, causing it to fall back to the netmail routing policy. Sounds like that should do exactly what you want! Its in the latest prealpha for A47 as of today (my today (Jan 30), not the today of time travelers such as yourself).

    Other "forks" of logic after that if you wanted them could be done by using the "NOT" function of the routing

    Thanks, that's what I thought was going on.

    Thanks for adding this :) Yep I think it will do the trick. I'll try to get updated in the coming week or so and test it out.

    I have a question regarding Netmail routing...
    At my system, my uplink has the following Route Info setting:
    1:* 2:* 3:* 4:*
    But, when sending a Netmail to a node that is not directly connected to
    my system, I am getting the following error message:
    "No netmail route"

    Are you trying to send netmail to a Zone 1 - 4 netmail address or is it an othernet Zone?

    Hello folks,

    I have a question regarding Netmail routing...

    At my system, my uplink has the following Route Info setting:

    1:* 2:* 3:* 4:*

    But, when sending a Netmail to a node that is not directly connected to my system, I am getting the following error message:

    "No netmail route"

    What should be the proper netmail routing config then?

    It was to a Zone 1 netmail address, but at the end of the day there was
    an error at my routing config part. Got it fixed already.
